Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground chicken and chorizo sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Return meat to the skillet; add onion and butter. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; saute for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Stir ketchup, broth, brown sugar, chile powder, mustard powder, hot sauce, salt, and pepper into the skillet until well combined; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 to 20 minutes. Add broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, if mixture looks dry. Serve on toasted pretzel rolls.
