Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan or 11x17-inch baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken, 3/4 cup plain bread crumbs, 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 teaspoons dried basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
Add in 2 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and 1 large egg. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
Shape into 1 to 1.5 inch balls. Whatever size you choose, they should all be roughly the same size for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated 400℉ oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. For extra crispy add an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes

SERVING SIZE: This recipe makes 18 meatballs which will serve 4 to 5 people.
FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS: These meatballs can be frozen. Place on a baking sheet after forming into meatballs and place in the freezer to freeze. Once frozen, remove from baking sheet and transfer to a resealable plastic bag for longer term storage. They will stay good in the fridge for 1 to 3 months.
LEFTOVER AND REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: Store in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator. Will stay good for 5 days, and up to 7 if your ground chicken was fresh and recently purchased.
