# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, gently mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, green onions, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper until just incorporated.
03 -
Portion mixture using a small scoop or heaping tablespoon; roll into balls and arrange evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
04 -
Bake meatballs for 25 minutes, or until fully cooked through and lightly golden on the outside.
05 -
In a small bowl, whisk together tamari or soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and rice vinegar until completely smooth.
06 -
Transfer baked meatballs to a large skillet over medium heat. Pour sauce over meatballs and stir gently to coat. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until glaze thickens and clings to the meatballs.
07 -
Serve hot over steamed rice with sautéed or roasted vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes as desired.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Prepare meatballs up to three days ahead and store refrigerated before coating with sauce.
02 -
Swap ground turkey in place of chicken for variation.
03 -
Always use fresh ginger for the sauce to maximize flavor complexity.
04 -
Select certified gluten-free breadcrumbs and tamari for a fully gluten-free preparation.
05 -
Double the sauce batch for extra drizzling over sides.
