Honey Barbeque Chicken Meatballs Recipe
Description
Ground chicken is combined with breadcrumbs, thinly sliced green onion, beaten eggs, fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. The mixture is lightly mixed and shaped into golf ball-sized meatballs. These meatballs are placed spaced on a foil-lined, sprayed baking sheet and cooked at 400°F until cooked through and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, the barbeque sauce is prepared by whisking tomato sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This sauce is simmered over medium-high heat to thicken slightly. Once the meatballs are baked, they are gently stirred into the simmering sauce to coat evenly and cooked further on low heat to meld flavors.
The final dish offers tender chicken meatballs with a sticky, flavorful honey barbeque glaze, suitable for serving as finger food or part of a meal. The method avoids frying, opting for baking and then simmering for a manageable and tasty preparation.
Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
- 2 egg beaten, large
- 2 tbsp. parsley minced, fresh flat-leaf
- 1 tsp. garlic minced
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper ground
For the Barbeque Sauce:
- 1 (8 oz.) tomato sauce canned
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Prepare the meatballs. In a large bowl, add all of the meatball ingredients and lightly mix together with your hands. Do not over-mix as this will produce tough meatballs.
- Use your hands to roll out 12-14 golf ball sized meatballs and spread them out on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
- In the meantime, prepare the barbeque sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients until well combined. Transfer the sauce to a large sauce pot. Turn the heat to medium-high and let cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will begin to thicken.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and gently stir to coat the meatballs. Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
