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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Bake the chicken balls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the chicken balls are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl.
Step 7
Pour the hoisin glaze over the chicken balls and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Step 8
Transfer the glazed chicken balls to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately as an appetizer or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
