If you love street tacos or spicy food, it’s time to take a trip to your local Asian grocery store and grab a giant bag of Korean Red Pepper flakes or powder. You can also find it here on Amazon. Traditionally made to use in the preparation of kimchi, this bright red powder adds a mildly spicy punch and incredible bright-red flavor to these yummy chicken meatballs. Cooked until tender, and glazed with honey, this recipe is to-die-for delish. It’s perfect for serving at a cocktail party, but simple enough to make for dinner.

These chicken meatballs may taste like an indulgence, but the lean protein in chicken makes them low in calories and in excess fat. Plus, ginger is a superfood that has anti-inflammatory properties, fights cancer and heart disease, and aids in digestion. And apple cider vinegar is widely touted as a health tonic, aiding in digestive health, soothing sore throats, lowering cholesterol, aiding in weight loss, and helping to control blood sugar levels. Flavor isn’t the only thing these meatballs pack!

If you’re looking for a quick way to prep this recipe, go ahead and bake it ahead of time. The meatballs can be fully cooked, and then frozen until you need them. When you’re ready, pull your precooked chicken meatballs out of the fridge, toss them in a skillet, and cook with the glaze until shiny and tender. Enjoying exotic flavors has never been so easy!
