Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or quick oats
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan optional
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce use low-sodium if preferred
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Mix chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and minced garlic in a bowl. Don’t overwork it.
  2. Form into 1-inch meatballs. I use a cookie scoop to keep them even.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Brown meatballs on all sides, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Whisk honey, soy sauce, and vinegar in a small bowl. Pour over meatballs.
  5. Simmer 3–4 minutes, then stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken. Cook until glossy.
  6. Serve with rice or toothpicks for little hands.
