So I hear there is this big game coming up this weekend? Basketball right? Haha! Just kidding! I know it’s Super Bowl weekend. We are actually headed to two parties that night. Booyah! Two tables full of yummy snacks and appetizers! That’s what I’m going for! And these Apple Whiskey Chicken Meatballs are one of the appetizers I want to bring this weekend.
A couple weeks ago I was walking down the aisles at Walmart when I saw this Apple Whiskey barbecue sauce from Open Pit. Since it was just $1, into the cart it went.
I decided to make some chicken meatballs and add some shredded apples to the mix. I always keep a bag of Crunck Pak apples in our fridge for the kids to snack on. I peeled the skins off and put them in my Ninja food processor. 5 seconds and the apples were ready to be mixed in.
Salt, pepper, garlic, and some shredded parmesan cheese give the meatballs a great flavor along with the apples and the barbecue sauce. You bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes, and then put them in a crock pot with some of the Apple Whiskey barbecue sauce.
Cute tooth picks are not required, but they sure do make meatballs more fun! You could even pick out the ones that match the team colors…if you like to match and all!
With Apple Whiskey Chicken Meatballs this yummy, and 2 parties to scope food at…
I think I am ready for some football!!!

Apple chicken meatballs get their flavor from ground chicken and shredded apples. The apple whiskey barbecue sauce compliments it very well.

These look delicious girl! I love that you put the apple INSIDE the meatball. YUMMERS.

Thanks! The more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea of the apple in it and not on it!!!
I want these now!!! Love the sound of them.

These look so delicious and actually make my mouth water. Meat balls are kind of weird here in Thailand, so I have totally been craving the kind I am familiar with.

These are so getting pinned! I haven’t seen Open Pit in years. My mom used it and then when we moved from the East Coast we couldn’t find it so whenever we’d visit, she’d bring it back with us.
Thank you so much for the pin love Carol. I don’t think I have had that brand in a while either…it definitely caught my eye with the fun flavor though!!!
Yum, yum, yum. I love any kind of meatball, but these look divine!
