Cantonese Chicken Balls are a popular dish in Chinese cuisine, particularly in Western adaptations of Cantonese cooking. These bite-sized pieces of marinated chicken are coated in a light, crispy batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. Often paired with a tangy sweet-and-sour sauce, they offer a satisfying balance of flavors and textures. The dish typically includes simple ingredients such as chicken breast, flour, cornstarch, and seasonings, along with oil for frying. While chicken provides a good source of protein, the deep-frying process and the accompanying sugary sauce can add significant fat and calorie content, making it less ideal for those aiming to reduce unhealthy fats or added sugars in their diet. For a healthier option, some recipes adapt the dish by baking the chicken balls or using whole-grain flours for the batter. This savory treat is a quintessential comfort food beloved by many for its rich taste and satisfying crunch.
