I am not one of those people who feels the need to put hot sauce on everything but i certainly appreciate that sometimes a little heat can really enhance the flavor of a food and that is just what happens with these firecracker chicken meatballs. They have a kick for sure, but really its all about the flavor and the sauce is a sticky, sweet spiced wonder. I love these as an appetizer (and believe me, theyre a crowd pleaser) but theyre equally great served with some white rice and broccoli if you want a complete meal with some heat to it.
