Savory and tender chicken meatballs with Asian-inspired flavors, served with a deliciously sticky soy-ginger glaze—perfect as an appetizer or main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • For the Glaze:
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, panko, egg, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Form mixture into 18–20 meatballs, about 1½ inches in diameter, and place on prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until cooked through and lightly golden.
  5. While meatballs bake, make the glaze: whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  6. When meatballs are done, transfer them to a large bowl, drizzle with the warm glaze, and gently toss to coat.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Great with rice, noodles, or in lettuce wraps.

Notes

  • Cook meatballs in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 12–14 minutes for a crispier exterior.
  • Make ahead and freeze baked meatballs; thaw and reheat in glaze before serving.
  • Adjust sweetness or spice by varying honey and red pepper flakes.
  • Use ground turkey instead of chicken for a lighter option.
