Prepare the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the firecracker sauce, sugar-free ketchup, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, chili flakes, and hot sauce. Set aside.
Heat the Pan
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and sesame oil, allowing them to warm for about 30 seconds.
Sauté Aromatics
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 20–30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Cook the Ground Chicken
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Season the Chicken
- Sprinkle in black pepper and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute seasoning.
Add the Sauce
- Pour the prepared firecracker sauce over the chicken. Stir thoroughly to coat every piece.
Simmer and Thicken
- Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes. If you want a thicker sauce, sprinkle in a pinch of xanthan gum while stirring continuously.
Finish and Garnish
- Remove from heat. Stir in sliced green onions and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
