Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
  • 3 Green Onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1 large Egg
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • Sesame Seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, panko breadcrumbs, and the egg. Mix gently until well combined.
  2. Wet your hands and roll the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and golden.
  5. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat over medium until honey dissolves, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. If desired, thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry.
  7. Transfer baked meatballs to the saucepan and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for a couple of minutes.
  8. Serve meatballs garnished with sesame seeds.

Notes

For extra moisture, consider adding a splash of milk or broth. Mix ingredients gently to avoid dense meatballs. Wet hands before rolling to keep from sticking.
