Notes
- Handle the meat mixture gently when forming balls to keep the meatballs tender, avoiding overmixing.
- Select ground chicken with about 7% fat content for juicier meatballs rather than leaner varieties.
- To prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands during rolling, lightly oil your palms beforehand.
