Description
A delightful dish that combines sweet and savory flavors with tender chicken meatballs coated in a sticky honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 grams ground chicken (about 1 lb)
- 60 ml honey (1/4 cup)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 60 ml soy sauce (1/4 cup)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 100 grams breadcrumbs (about 1 cup)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small, round meatballs, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. Place the formed meatballs on a plate or baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Carefully add the meatballs to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, reduce the heat to low. In a small bowl, mix together additional honey and soy sauce (about 2 tablespoons each) to create a glaze. Pour this mixture over the meatballs in the skillet, gently tossing to coat them evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Notes
- Store any leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- To reheat, warm them in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- For freezing, place cooked meatballs in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
