Ingredients

For the meatballs
  • 550 grams ground chicken
  • 1/2 tbsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1/4 cup parmesan
  • 1/4 cup panko
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Gochujang
  • 1 tsp Gochugaru or more if you prefer it spicier
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oven to 400F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, panko, parmesan cheese, egg, and a drizzle of olive oil together and then mix it into the ground chicken. Do not over mix.
  3. Shape the meatballs (I used my little cookie scooper to portion out my meatballs so they’re the same sized to make sure they cook evenly). As your meatballs will get denser as they cook, avoid overpacking/over-rolling your meat.
  4. On a sheet pan, place a piece of parchment paper or spray with non-stick, then place your meatballs on the sheet pan without over crowding them. Pop them into the oven for around 17 minutes or until they’re cooked through.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, you’re going to combine the gochujang, gochugaru, brown sugar, garlic paste, and water. Set aside until the meatballs are ready
  6. Once the meatballs are cooked, in a pan, pour your sauce mixture in and add the meatballs. Coat the meatballs with the sauce and let everything simmer for 3 minutes.

Notes

  • If using minced garlic, just cook the sauce on the stove top for a minute or two so the garlic can cook through.
