Notes

  • Chili Sauce is found right next to Ketchup in the grocery store. If you don't have Chili Sauce, Ketchup is totally okay. Just add 1 tsp. of Garlic (minced) into sauce. (But, just buy the sauce!)
  • Don't break the Chicken apart too much! The texture of Ground Chicken gets a little weird when it is super fine.
  • You can make these with Turkey or Burger, too!

Common Questions

1. I can't find chili sauce. What else can I use?

You can absolutely use ketchup. Just add an extra clove or 2 of garlic!
