How To Make poultry essentials: spicy chicken meatballs

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    I am using a ice cream scoop, and it produces a meatball of 1.25 ounces (35g). You can, of course make them any size you desire. If you make them bigger, or smaller, you will have to adjust the baking time.
  • 3
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 4
    Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 350f (175c).
  • 5
    Add all of the dry ingredients into a bowl, and mix to combine.
  • 6
    Whisk together the eggs, and the olive, oil, and then add them to the dry ingredients; along with the ground chicken.
  • 7
    Gently mix together the ingredients, until combined.
  • 8
    Create meatballs, of about 1.25 ounces each.
  • 9
    Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. This will give you about 18 chicken meatballs
  • 10
    Place in the preheated oven, and baked until cooked through, about 30 – 35 minutes.
