BAKED BARBECUED GLAZED MEATBALLS



Baked Barbecued Glazed Meatballs image

You could just cook the meatballs in the sauce although you will experience grease in the sauce, it is better to pre-cook them first --- please adjust the amount of brown sugar, you might want to start with only 1/2 cup and add in more to taste --- this is *very* good!

JERK CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH BARBECUE-PINEAPPLE GLAZE



Jerk Chicken Meatballs With Barbecue-Pineapple Glaze image

This recipe takes the deep flavor of jerk chicken and turns it into easy meatballs. The jerk seasoning paste does double duty here, adding both spices and moisture, so don't reach for dry jerk seasoning. Whether served alone as an appetizer, over rice, or even tucked in a sandwich, these meatballs are perfectly salty, sweet and spicy.

Categories     meatballs, poultry, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Neutral oil
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1 small yellow or red onion, finely diced
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning paste, such as Grace or Walkerswood
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 packed cup light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Pinch of kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
White rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and very lightly coat it with oil.
  • Prepare the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, onion, egg, bread crumbs, jerk seasoning paste, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Using lightly wet hands, form the mixture into 12 meatballs, each a bit larger than a golf ball, and space them out on the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. (Alternatively, you can fry them in a nonstick pan coated in oil over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side.)
  • While the meatballs cook, prepare the glaze: Whisk the pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and salt together in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until it reduces enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Slowly whisk into the sauce, increase the heat to medium and stir until you reach the desired consistency. (Sauce should look like a thicker gravy.) Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce and stir until coated. Cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, until the meatballs are evenly glazed and deepen slightly in color. Serve hot on their own or over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: Beef, pork, or a combination of both can be used to create juicy and flavorful meatballs. Make sure to use a mixture with a good fat content, such as 80/20 or 85/15, to prevent the meatballs from drying out.
  • Season the meatballs well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings to create flavorful meatballs. Common ingredients include garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly: Meatballs should be cooked until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that they are safe to eat.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the meatballs evenly. If the glaze is too thin, it will run off the meatballs and not adhere properly.
  • Bake the meatballs until they are glazed: Bake the meatballs in the glaze until they are evenly coated and slightly caramelized. This will give them a delicious and sticky exterior.

Conclusion:

Barbecue glazed meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are perfect for parties and potlucks, and can be easily made ahead of time. With the right ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can easily create these tasty treats at home.
