CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH PEANUT SAUCE image

Yield 48 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 16

1¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek or sriracha Asian hot sauce
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh lemon grass
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ to ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs (see chef's note)
1 ½ pounds ground chicken thigh meat
For garnishing:
Sassy Peanut Sauce (see accompanying recipe)
Fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sambal oelek, vinegar, ginger, garlic, lemon grass, green onion, granulated onion, kosher salt and ½ cup of the panko crumbs. Stir well to combine, and then add the chicken meat. With clean hands, mix the bread crumb mixture into the chicken well. If the mixture seems to be too wet, add up to another ¼ cup of panko crumbs and mix in well. 2. The recipe can be made to this point, covered tightly, and refrigerated for up to 1 day in advance. 3. When ready to cook the meatballs, preheat oven to 400 degrees. 4. Thoroughly spray pan with oil.

These chicken meatballs in a spicy-sweet coconut-lime sauce were out of this world. The ginger and red pepper flakes gave them a lovely subtle heat, and the peanuts added a wonderful crunch. I made them for a party, and they disappeared in no time!

Easy to make and absolutely delicious. This is a great weeknight dinner recipe - it can be on the table in under 30 minutes! I'm going to try adding some chopped water chestnuts to the meatballs next time for a little extra texture.
