Description
These tasty bites are a wonderful make-ahead party appetizer!
Ingredients
- FOR THE MEATBALLS:
- 2 pounds Ground Chicken
- 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili With Garlic Sauce
- 1-½ cup Panko
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
- 2 whole Thinly Sliced Green Onions (scallions)
- FOR THE SAUCE:
- 2 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
- ¼ cups Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Ginger
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1-½ teaspoon Chili With Garlic Sauce (or More For Spicier Sauce)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
In a large bowl mix together all meatball ingredients until combined, then shape into small balls (about 1 inch). Place your meatballs on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes (if you make yours larger, increase the cooking time). Be sure they are cooked through (no pink on the inside).
Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a boil for a minute and remove from heat. Toss the meatballs in the sauce until ready to serve. These reheat well.
If you want a thicker sauce, add more Hoisin sauce. Change the flavor or the amount of heat easily—this is a very adjustable sauce—so customize its heat, sweetness or flavors to your palate.
I really, really liked these. I hope you do too! Enjoy!
