Savory Sesame Ginger Chicken Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• to taste salt and pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the beaten egg to the mixture, and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
4. With your hands, form the chicken mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
5. Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the meatballs for about 5-7 minutes, rotating them occasionally until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
6. Once done, transfer the meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve warm by drizzling extra soy sauce or a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top if desired.
