Ingredients
Firecracker Sauce
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ 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
To Serve
- Cooked rice
- Steamed veggies of choice
Instructions
- Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine buffalo sauce, soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the firecracker sauce.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is almost fully cooked.
- Add Sauce: Pour the firecracker sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to combine and let it cook together for a couple of minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse the chicken with flavor. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top.
- Serve: Spoon the firecracker ground chicken over cooked rice and serve alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- Adjust the spiciness by using more or less buffalo sauce according to your heat preference.
- For a lower sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce added salt.
- This dish can be meal-prepped by storing the cooked chicken, rice, and veggies separately and reheating before serving.
- Use brown sugar as a sweetener alternative if honey is not available.
- Adding fresh ginger instead of ground ginger can impart a fresher flavor.
