Tips to make the prefect Chicken Meatballs with Glaze

Here are some tips to help you make the perfect chicken meatballs with glaze:

1. Don’t over-mix the meatball mixture: Over-mixing can make the meatballs tough and dry. Mix the ingredients just until they are evenly combined.
2. Use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon to portion out the meatballs: This will ensure that they are all the same size and will cook evenly.
3. Coat the baking sheet with parchment paper: This will prevent the meatballs from sticking to the baking sheet and will make clean-up easier.
4. Baste the meatballs with the glaze halfway through cooking: This will help the glaze to penetrate the meatballs and will add flavor and moisture.
5. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Using a meat thermometer will ensure that the meatballs are cooked through but not overcooked.
6. Let the meatballs rest before serving: Allowing the meatballs to rest for a few minutes before serving will help the juices redistribute and will prevent them from falling apart.
7. Serve with additional glaze on the side: If you love the flavor of the glaze, consider making extra and serving it on the side for dipping.

By following these tips, you can create the perfect chicken meatballs with glaze that are juicy, flavorful, and sure to impress!

How to store and reheat Chicken Meatballs with Glaze

To store leftover chicken meatballs with glaze, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. If you need to store them for longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. To freeze, place the meatballs on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag.

To reheat the meatballs, preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.

If you want to reheat the meatballs with glaze, it’s best to reheat them separately. Microwave the meatballs and then drizzle the glaze over them once they are heated through. Or, you can heat the glaze in a small saucepan on the stove and then drizzle it over the meatballs.

Remember, it’s important to reheat chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure food safety.
