Spicy and sweet chicken meatballs with a flavorful kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Roll the chicken mixture into small meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl to make the sauce.
  6. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently toss to coat.
  7. Return the meatballs to the oven for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and glaze the meatballs.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add more sriracha to the sauce.
  • You can also pan-fry the meatballs if you prefer.
  • These meatballs are great as an appetizer or served over rice.
