What Ingredients Are Used?

If you’ve spent time reviewing my blog, you know I always focus on using high quality ingredients. Focusing on high quality ingredients is important as they’re not only good for you, but also good for the environment. Not to mention, home cooked meals taste better with high quality ingredients! I wrote a blog post discussing food brands I look for when grocery shopping, specifically at Whole Foods. However, these are brands you may find at other grocery stores, too.

Force Of Nature has a variety of regeneratively focused meats that are a great option for improving the health of our bodies, soil, and animals themselves. You can find this brand at several grocery stores such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Natural Grocers.

Frank’s Red Hot is the key ingredient within this recipe that provides the spicy, red hot flavor. Add more or less depending on how spicy you like your meatballs! If adding more, be sure to add extra breadcrumbs to even out the texture, or vice versa.

Pasture raised eggs are used within this recipe. You can either purchase them from a local farmer who sells pasture raised eggs, or Vital Farms is a great brand you can purchase in most grocery stores.

Can You Freeze These Meatballs?

Yes! Meatballs are a great food to freeze. You can mix the ingredients within a bowl, roll them into a ball, and freeze them uncooked. Or you can cook the meatballs, then freeze them for a quick, reheated protein source. Meatballs last for up to two months in the freezer.

What Can I Pair These Spicy Red Hot Chicken Meatballs With?

Meatballs make the best appetizer! Listed below are a handful of other appetizers I love combining the spicy red hot chicken meatballs with:

Easy & Colorful Cowboy Caviar is a variety of colorful veggies that pack in the fiber with each bite.
Summertime Watermelon Goat Cheese & Basil Salad is one of my favorite appetizers. With only four ingredients, it only takes about 10 minutes to prepare this recipe.
Bacon Wrapped Goat Cheese Poppers are a staple appetizer in our home – they are delicious! There is also a recipe included to make bacon wrapped goat cheese date poppers, a sweeter variation to the jalapeno poppers.
Goat Cheese Bruschetta combines fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, and basil for a delicious, crunchy bite.
