Ingredients
Firecracker Sauce
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey, or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
- Cooked rice and veggies, for serving
Instructions
- Mix Sauce - In a small bowl, mix up the firecracker sauce ingredients. I like to go light on added salt since the soy sauce is salty.
- Cook Chicken - Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the oil. Once hot, add the chicken. Cook, while crumbling, until almost fully cooked.
- Add Sauce - Add the firecracker sauce to the chicken and combine with the chicken while letting the chicken finish cooking. Cook for a couple of minutes so the sauce slightly thickens and cooks into the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with the sliced green onions.
- Serve - Serve the chicken with rice and steamed veggies.
