Surly Hell BBQ Chicken Meatballs

Step 1

First, get the BBQ sauce started. This will need to boil down for about an hour, so do this first so it will cook while you prep the meatballs!

Step 2

Add Surly Hell (or favorite beer), tomato sauce, ketchup, tomato paste, and brown sugar in a large sauce pan. Stir thoroughly to combine.

Step 3

Allow to simmer on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Be careful - it may spatter when you stir it! Allow it to simmer until reduced to your liking, about an hour. You can continue to reduce it more, which will intensify the flavors and yield a thicker sauce.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, minced onion, and garlic. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire, and some salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 6

Using an ice cream scoop to keep the meatballs uniform, scoop the meat mixture in to small balls. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Step 7

Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly.

Step 8

When ready to serve, toss meatballs in about a cup of the sauce. Serve with additional sauce for dipping, and garnish with green onions, if desired.
