Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 cup panko or GF panko
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 kg ground chicken
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- 4 green onions finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Glaze
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons liquid honey
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
Instructions
- Stir the panko with the milk in a large bowl. Let it soak for 2 minutes, then add the chicken, eggs, green onions, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and salt. Stir very well to combine.
- Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment. Wet your hands with cold water, then shape the chicken mixture into about 24 large meatballs. Place them on the prepared pan.
- Wash hand thoroughly. Cover the meatballs lightly with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (and for as long as 12 hours).
- Stir the ketchup, honey, soy sauce and ginger together in a small bowl.
- Preheat the broiler to High. Move the top rack to the middle of the oven. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil and brush with oil.
- Transfer the chilled meatballs to the greased pan. Brush each one with some canola oil. Broil meatballs for 7 minutes OR until golden and bubbling (Aimee's note...in my oven it was more like 10 minutes). Carefully turn each meatball over and broil another 2-4 minutes.
- Spoon or brush the glaze over each meatball and broil for another 2-4 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly. Serve meatballs with rice or mashed potatoes and stir-fry vegetables of your choice.

Notes
- Updated to add: these have been tested with gluten-free panko with great success! So now your meatballs can be gluten free if desired.
