Bang Bang Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients  

Chicken Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs, divided in 1 cup and 1 cup
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ginger powder
  • Avocado oil or another neutral oil for frying
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha or more to taste
  • 1 tbsp honey

Method 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, egg, 1 cup of panko bread crumbs, sesame oil, soy sauce, milk, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Mix until fully combined.
  • Roll the mixture into about 20 meatballs. The mixture will be slightly sticky. Place the meatballs on a plate or baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of panko bread crumbs over the meatballs and roll each one until fully coated.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, about 1/4 inch deep. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer. Work in batches if needed.
  • Cook the meatballs for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth.
  • Place the meatballs on a serving platter and drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
