Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Cooked rice or cauliflower rice
- Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet and oil: Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Brown the ground chicken: Add 1 pound ground chicken and break it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.
- Mix the sauce: While the chicken cooks, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ginger powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
- Combine sauce and chicken: Pour the sauce over the browned chicken and stir well to coat every piece.
- Let flavors meld: Cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces slightly and clings to the chicken.
- Serve: Spoon the firecracker chicken over cooked rice or cauliflower rice.
- Garnish and enjoy: Top with chopped green onions if desired and serve hot.
Notes
