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.

  • 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.

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.
