1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic, salt, pepper, eggs, breadcrumbs and paprika. Do not overmix.

3. Roll chicken mixture into small meatballs and place on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 11-14 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium high heat, add franks hot sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and lime juice. Stir and allow to come to a boil and then reduce and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
