　　Total Time

　　1 hour

　　If you have trouble getting the chicken mixture to roll into balls, chill it for up to 30 minutes or add another 1/4 cup of crumbs.

Ingredients

Makes 6 servings

　　1 pound ground chicken

　　2/3 cup corn-bread crumbs or bread crumbs

　　1 egg

　　1 teaspoon chili powder

　　1 small onion, grated and drained

　　1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

　　1 teaspoon kosher salt

　　2 tablespoons applesauce

　　2 tablespoons olive oil

　　1 cup barbecue sauce (we like Trader Joe's)

1. Combine the first 8 ingredients. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls.

2. Place the oil in a wide frying pan. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

3. Add the barbecue sauce. Cook until it reduces and sticks to the meatballs, about 1 minute. Serve.

　　Tip:

　　When making meatballs, keep a bowl of water nearby to dunk your hands in, so the mixture doesn't stick to your hands.
