Key Ingredients

When it comes to ground chicken, choose organic options that are free from antibiotics and hormones. Our personal favorite brand is Bird’s Eye View Farms for their commitment to sustainable and regenerative farming practices. When it comes to coconut flakes, we prefer Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unsweetened Shredded Coconut for their non-GMO and gluten-free certification.

Next, when it comes to your firecracker sauce, don’t be afraid to get creative and experiment with different levels of heat. You can also swap out the dark honey for Golden Nectar Liquid Honey for an added depth of flavor.
