Sticky BBQ Chicken Meatballs
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for serving
- 1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water

Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with the egg, garlic, onions, breadcrumbs, smoked paprika and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until just combined and form the mixture into small meatballs.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and brown on all sides. Once browned, transfer the meatballs to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add in the BBQ sauce, honey and water. Whisk it together. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute. Add the meatballs back in and cook for a few minutes as the sauce thickens. You want the internal temperature of the meatballs to reach 165 degrees F before serving. Sprinkle with more green onions.
