Jerk Chicken Meatballs With Barbecue-Pineapple Glaze image

This recipe takes the deep flavor of jerk chicken and turns it into easy meatballs. The jerk seasoning paste does double duty here, adding both spices and moisture, so don't reach for dry jerk seasoning. Whether served alone as an appetizer, over rice, or even tucked in a sandwich, these meatballs are perfectly salty, sweet and spicy.

Categories     meatballs, poultry, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Neutral oil
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1 small yellow or red onion, finely diced
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning paste, such as Grace or Walkerswood
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 packed cup light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Pinch of kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
White rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and very lightly coat it with oil.
  • Prepare the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, onion, egg, bread crumbs, jerk seasoning paste, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Using lightly wet hands, form the mixture into 12 meatballs, each a bit larger than a golf ball, and space them out on the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. (Alternatively, you can fry them in a nonstick pan coated in oil over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side.)
  • While the meatballs cook, prepare the glaze: Whisk the pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and salt together in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until it reduces enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Slowly whisk into the sauce, increase the heat to medium and stir until you reach the desired consistency. (Sauce should look like a thicker gravy.) Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce and stir until coated. Cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, until the meatballs are evenly glazed and deepen slightly in color. Serve hot on their own or over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of meatballs. Ground beef, pork, or turkey can all be used to make meatballs. For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of meats.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the meatballs. This will allow the meatballs to brown evenly.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cooking the meatballs in batches will help them brown evenly.
  • Make sure the meatballs are cooked through before adding the sauce. You can check for doneness by cutting a meatball in half. The center should be cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Use a flavorful barbecue sauce. The sauce is what will give the meatballs their delicious flavor. Choose a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Serve the meatballs hot. Meatballs are best served hot out of the oven or skillet. You can garnish them with parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Pineapple barbecue sauce glazed meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give these meatballs a try.
