Healthy Asian Chicken Meatballs are made with ground chicken, fresh ginger, and spices and coated with a honey-soy sauce.
Equipment
- sheet pan
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound 93/7 ground chicken
- 2 garlic cloves ( minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger ( minced)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 scallions (finely chopped)
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup panko (plain or gluten-free)
Sauce:
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
- 1 clove fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- sesame seeds and fresh scallions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place all of the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl. Use your hands to combine them well, but no need to over-mix. Shape the mixture into approximately 16 meatballs.
- Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them until they are cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- When the meatballs are done, prepare the sauce. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well. Pour the sauce into a large skillet over low heat, whisking until it begins to boil, then cook 30 to 60 seconds, until the sauce thickens.
- Turn the heat off immediately and gently toss in the meatballs and coat well.
- Top off with fresh scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
If you prefer to use your air fryer, air fry them at 400F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway.
