Smoky Bourbon-Spiced Chicken Meatballs with Chipotle Honey Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp bourbon
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tbsp chipotle adobo sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, bourbon, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-7 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and chipotle adobo sauce.
5. When all meatballs are browned, reduce heat to low, pour honey-chipotle glaze over meatballs in the skillet, and gently toss to coat.
6. Cook meatballs in glaze for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and sticky.
7. Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
