Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Thoroughly combine all the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl.
- Form the mixture into 24-30 meatballs and arrange on a large baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are slightly browned on the outside and cooked through (165°F internally).
- While the meatballs are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking until the sauce begins to thicken. Reduce heat to low and continue to whisk occasionally until the meatballs are ready.
- Pour the glaze over the meatballs on the baking sheet and toss to coat.
- Serve meatballs as an appetizer or with rice and a vegetable.
Notes
- Storage: Store Asian chicken meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Ensure that the ingredients for the meatballs are really well combined. I prefer to mix everything with my hands to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment so that the don't stick. It also makes clean up a breeze.
- Roll the balls into even shapes and sizes so that they cook evenly. You can use a small cookie scoop to get uniformed sizes.
- If you prefer, you can also cook the meatballs in a skillet on the stovetop. Add a little oil to a medium hot pan and cook for around 12 minutes while turning occasionally.
