Thai Chicken Balls

This recipe was pretty simple to make because I love being able to place all of the ingredients into a large bowl and simply mix everything together. That being said, I did add pink salt and rainbow peppercorns for the dry seasoning as well as small red chili peppers and lime zest for the wet seasoning. I added ground pork to the ground chicken and a few eggs also. This recipe was more like an herb meatball vs Thai. If I make them again I'll omit the sweet chili sauce and simply use it as a dip instead.

Outstanding! I used less cilantro and added a few cloves of fresh minced garlic. I tossed the meatball in the sweet chili sauce and served with white rice and fresh peas!

These burned! I made a test one and it burned right away. Decided to do in the oven, as others have, and they also burned. My sweet Thai chili sauce must have a LOT of sugar in it. I used one pkg of chicken so cut all ingredients by half. They’re currently sitting on the stove over very low heat to try and cook them thru

I didn’t care for this as written because the amount of cilantro is just too high, but that could be my personal taste preference. As written, I’d give it two stars. The only change I initially made was using dried cilantro (scaled down recipe and used 1-1.5 tbsp dried cilantro, which was plenty). All other ingredient amounts I followed accordingly and tested cooking one ball as directed, but it was not holding together well and flavor wise was lacking (might have been fine in baking, turning half way—400F for 20-25 min total cook time is what I would do). I grated in some fresh garlic ginger and a flax egg (I can’t have egg and needed something to help bind this mixture…1 tbsp flax meal to 2.5 tbsp water let rest 5-7 min). Skewered the meatballs and grilled them. With my changes, this was delicious and I served with lightly stir fried red bell pepper and veggie spirals (zucchini and carrot) tossed with a little Thai Sesame Sauce (~1/2 cup); topped off with some chopped cashews.

Yeah I used beef instead but it was so nice that it was loved by who ever tasted
