Firecracker Ground Chicken | A Simple Macro Friendly Meal Prep Recipe

You Tube



With nearly 600 5-star reviews, this sweet and spicy ground chicken is one of my most popular recipes ever. It’s super easy to make. Here’s everything you’ll need:

– 1 pound Ground Chicken
– 1/2 Tablespoon Chili Oil (or avocado/olive oil)

For the Sauce:
– 1/2 cup (96g) Swerve Brown Sugar (or dark brown sugar)
– 1/4 cup (60g) Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce
– 2 Tablespoons (30g) Rice Vinegar
– 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
– 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
– 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
– 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Brown and fully cook the ground chicken before adding the sauce (all ingredients whisked together) and cooking another 30-60 seconds until the sauce thickens and begins to caramelize.

The recipe makes 4 servings, each with around 185 calories, 22g of protein, 0g of carbs, and 11g of fat (with 92/8 ground chicken). With 97/3 ground chicken, each serving has 26g of protein, 3.5g of fat, and 135 calories. If you use real brown sugar, each serving has an additional 12g of carbs and 48 calories.
