Ingredients

Poppers

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 12 slices bacon
• 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp dried dill
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Ranch

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp dried dill

• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 2-3 tbsp heavy whipping cream*

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line baking sheet with foil and baking rack. Lay bacon strips on baking rack in even layer. Bake bacon in oven until crispy, about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness of bacon. (Alternatively, bacon can be cooked on stovetop over medium heat and drained of excess grease on paper towel-lined plate). Crumble bacon into small pieces. (Dispose of foil from baking sheet or use second baking sheet.) Decrease oven heat to 375 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. To a large mixing bowl, add ground chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, egg, and spices. Using hands, mix together until thoroughly combined. Form mixture into equal-sized balls, about 1 1/2 tbsp of mixture per ball, place on prepared baking sheet, and lightly press down to slightly flatten. Bake until golden brown and cooked throughout, about 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, to a mixing bowl, add all ranch ingredients and stir until well-combined. (*Add 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream for thicker ranch and, for a thinner consistency, add 3 tbsp.) Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Remove poppers from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve with toothpicks and ranch dressing drizzled atop poppers or on the side.
