Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  2. Step 2: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
  5. Step 5: While the meatballs are baking, prepare your favorite dipping sauce or serve them with a side of rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
  6. Step 6: Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. When reheating, pop the meatballs in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to maintain their crispy exterior, or microwave them for a quick option. These meatballs pair wonderfully with a zesty dipping sauce like sweet chili or can be served over a bed of jasmine rice with sautéed vegetables for a delightful meal. For an extra flavor boost, try adding chopped scallions or cilantro to the meat mixture before forming the meatballs, enhancing both taste and presentation!
