Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat until it simmers, stirring occasionally, and thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked meatballs to a large skillet, add the sauce and gently toss to coat each meatball evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Let meatballs rest after baking for improved juiciness.
