Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the chicken balls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
While the chicken balls are baking, prepare the hoisin glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the hoisin sauce, water, and vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the glaze is warm and slightly thickened.
Once the chicken balls are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl.
Pour the hoisin glaze over the chicken balls and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Transfer the glazed chicken balls to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
