Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 tbsp. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
For the Barbeque Sauce:
- 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Prepare the meatballs. In a large bowl, add all of the meatball ingredients and lightly mix together with your hands. Do not over-mix as this will produce tough meatballs.
- Use your hands to roll out 12-14 golf ball sized meatballs and spread them out on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
- In the meantime, prepare the barbeque sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients until well combined. Transfer the sauce to a large sauce pot. Turn the heat to medium-high and let cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will begin to thicken.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and gently stir to coat the meatballs. Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
