Baked Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs

Looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make dinner or appetizer? Baked Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs are the answer. These tender, juicy meatballs are packed with flavor from a homemade teriyaki glaze that’s both sweet and savory, making them the perfect balance of taste. Whether served as an appetizer, over rice, or alongside veggies, they’re a versatile and delicious choice for any meal.

The magic of these meatballs lies in the combination of simple ingredients. Ground chicken is seasoned with garlic, ginger, and green onions, creating a savory base that pairs perfectly with the sweet teriyaki glaze. The meatballs are baked in the oven, keeping them juicy while allowing the outside to develop a light crispness. The teriyaki sauce is easy to make from scratch, with soy sauce, honey, and a splash of rice vinegar for acidity. It’s the perfect topping for these little bites of flavor, making every bite an irresistible blend of sweetness and umami.

These Baked Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs are incredibly versatile. Serve them over steamed rice for a hearty meal or on their own as a snack or appetizer for your next gathering. They’re also great for meal prep, simply make a batch at the beginning of the week and enjoy them in lunches, on salads, or with vegetables.

What makes this dish even better is how simple it is to prepare. In just under 30 minutes, you can have a batch of these flavorful meatballs ready to enjoy. Plus, because they’re baked rather than fried, they’re a healthier alternative to traditional meatballs, without sacrificing any of the flavor.

Whether you’re hosting a party, looking for a quick weeknight meal, or just craving something with a little extra kick, Baked Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs are sure to become a new favorite in your recipe collection

• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• sesame seeds toasted, for garnish

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
