Tips:
- Prepare the oven: Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius) before starting to make the meatballs.
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your meatballs. Choose fresh ground chicken, flavorful spices, and a good quality cheese.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Shape the meatballs evenly: Make sure the meatballs are all about the same size so that they cook evenly. Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the meatballs.
- Brown the meatballs before baking: Browning the meatballs before baking helps to lock in the flavor and create a crispy crust.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is an important part of this dish. Choose a sauce that complements the flavors of the meatballs, such as a spicy tomato sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce.
- Serve the meatballs hot: Meatballs are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
