CRISPY CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 16 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons whole milk
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, plus 1 cup for breading
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 pound ground chicken, 50/50 white and dark meat
4 ounces mozzarella, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying
Marinara, warmed, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the Parmesan, parsley, milk, salt, oregano, pepper flakes, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and 1 egg. Add the chicken and gently stir to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Shape the meat mixture into bite-size balls and press a cube of mozzarella in the middle of each, sealing it with the meat around it.
  • Set up a standard breading station: put the flour in one shallow bowl, the remaining 1 cup of breadcrumbs in a separate bowl and the remaining 2 eggs in another separate bowl. Roll each meatball in the flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs.
  • Fill a medium Dutch oven a third of the way with vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Bring the oil to 350 degrees F using a deep-fry thermometer,
  • Drop in the meatballs a few at a time so as to not lower the temperature, and fry until deep golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with a pinch of salt. Continue with the remaining meatballs. Serve warm with marinara for dipping if desired.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 15 balls

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups panko
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fifteen 1/2-inch cubes part-skim mozzarella (from 1 pound piece of mozzarella)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Warmed marinara sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Fill a large Dutch oven or pot halfway with oil. Attach a deep-fat fry thermometer on the side. Heat over medium to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the chicken, Italian seasoning, egg, 1/4 cup panko, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
  • Scoop out 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture and flatten into a 2-inch circle in your hand. Put a mozzarella cube in the center of the circle. Pat the meat mixture around the cheese to encase it in a ball. Set the ball aside on a plate or baking sheet and repeat with the remaining mozzarella and chicken mixture.
  • Stir together the Parmesan, remaining 1 cup panko and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Working one at a time, toss the chicken balls in the panko mixture until they are completely coated, pressings the panko into the ball with your hands to make sure it sticks.
  • Fry the balls in batches until deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Serve with the marinara for dipping.

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
salt, to taste
white pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons water
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon mirin
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup bell pepper, julienned
1 cup carrot, julienned
4 cups short grain rice, cooked
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large measuring cup, combine water and cornstarch. Stir until combined and add soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, honey, sesame oil, and mirin. Mix well.
  • Season sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper, then pour ¼ cup (60 ml) of the sauce over the sliced chicken just until covered, and set aside. Mix the sauce with the sliced chicken, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour the rest of the sauce and stir occasionally as it comes to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Set aside in a bowl.
  • In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon cooking oil and raise heat back to medium-high. Place sliced chicken pieces in the pan and cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook an additional 3 minutes. Pour 1 tablespoon of the reduced sauce over the chicken and stir. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining cooking oil into the skillet and add the julienned vegetables. Season with salt and white pepper, and cook 3-4 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Add back the chicken and gradually add just enough sauce to coat the chicken and vegetables.
  • Take ⅓ cup (65 g) of cooked rice and flatten out on a piece of plastic wrap. Layer the cooked chicken and vegetables in the center of the rice and wrap the rice around the fillings. Form into a square shape and repeat with the remainder of the rice and filling. Chill rice balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Dip the rice ball in beaten eggs, then coat with panko. Shake off any excess bread crumbs.
  • Heat ½ inch (1 cm) oil in a skillet to 350˚F (180˚C) and fry for 3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Move to a cooling rack, and season with salt.
  • Cut in half and serve with the remaining sauce for dipping.
  • Enjoy!

CRISPY CHICKEN MEATBALLS



Crispy Chicken Meatballs image

This is a mash-up of two kids' menu standbys: chicken nuggets and meatballs. And the result is adult-appropriate, too. The combination is a streamlined mix of flavors and textures, since some of the ingredients added to ground meat for classic meatballs (bread crumbs, garlic, and Parmesan) are often used in the crispy coating on chicken nuggets. Cooking the panko and Parmesan-coated meatballs on the stovetop in a mixture of olive oil (for browning) and butter (for flavor) means no splatters - and meatballs that are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Eat with ketchup, ranch or honey mustard; pasta; or with a layer of tomato sauce and mozzarella like chicken Parmesan.

Categories     weeknight, finger foods, poultry, appetizer, main course

Time 40m

Yield 24 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1 cup finely grated Parmesan
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup panko, the milk, egg, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir together and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and 3/4 cup Parmesan. Stir with your hands until combined, avoiding overmixing. Roll into 24 balls about the size of a golf ball (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on a sheet pan or plate. In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining ¾ cup panko and ¼ cup Parmesan. Toss each meatball in the panko-cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere. (To avoid a big mess, designate one "wet hand" for touching the meatballs and one "dry hand" for tossing in the panko.) Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium. When foaming, add half the meatballs. Cook, turning often and reducing the heat if needed to prevent burning, until golden brown and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and remove any dark oil or loose panko from the skillet with a spoon or paper towel. (The skillet will be hotter at this point, so reducing the heat ensures even cooking for both batches.) Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil. When foaming, add the remaining meatballs and cook, turning often, until golden brown and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the plate.

SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN BALLS



Sweet & sour chicken balls image

Try making these sweet & sour chicken balls at home with this easy recipe. These satisfying chicken bites paired with a tangy dipping sauce are irresistible

Provided by Kwoklyn Wan

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

125g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
160ml semi-skimmed milk
1 tbsp groundnut oil, plus extra for deep-frying
4 chicken breasts cut into 3cm cubes
240ml orange juice
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 tbsp cornflour, mixed with 6 tbsp water

Steps:

  • First, make the sauce. Put the orange juice, sugar, tomato purée, ketchup and vinegar in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 mins. Slowly pour in the cornflour mixture, a little at a time, stirring continuously until you have the desired consistency. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder and 1 tsp salt together in a large bowl. Beat the eggs, milk and 1 tbsp oil together in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well to create a smooth paste. Add the chicken pieces and mix, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated.
  • Fill a deep saucepan or wok no more than a third full with oil and heat to 170C, or until a cube of bread dropped in browns within 30 seconds. Carefully lower the coated chicken pieces into the oil, one piece at a time, and fry in batches of five for about 5-6 mins each batch until golden brown and cooked through. If you have a food probe thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 78C. If you don't have a thermometer, cut a chicken piece in half to ensure the juices run clear.
  • Drain the fried chicken on a wire rack set over a baking tray lined with kitchen paper, or on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Serve with the sweet & sour sauce for dipping.
