A deliciously spicy and sweet ground chicken dish cooked in chili oil and coated with a sticky firecracker sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Chicken (92/8)
  • ½ tbsp  (8g) Chili Oil
  • ½ cup (96g) Swerve Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup (60g) Buffalo Sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30g) Cider or Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions 

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add chili oil. Brown both sides of the ground chicken for 3-4 minutes per side. Once browned, break the chicken apart into small pieces and cook thoroughly.
  • While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the remaining ingredients (Swerve brown sugar, buffalo sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes) in a mixing bowl.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy.
  • Serve the firecracker chicken over rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor.
