American BBQ Onion Chicken Meatballs
What’s a fall/winter game day without dip-worthy finger food? These homemade BBQ onion chicken meatballs are healthier than fried chicken but just as satisfying. My Geedel Vegetable Chopper ensures onions and herbs are cut into consistent sizes, making the meatballs tender and flavorful.
Ingredients:
500g chicken breast or thigh meat
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp smoked paprika Salt and black pepper
1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions:
1.Cut chicken into large chunks. Prep aromatics: Attach the dicing blade to this manual vegetable chopper, then dice the onion into neat, uniform pieces. The chopper’s sealed design handles pungent onions perfectly—keep your elegance while prepping party snacks!
2.Wash parsley and pat dry. Use the same chopper (no blade change needed) to dice parsley quickly. Add garlic cloves and press a few times to chop into small pieces.
3.In a large bowl, mix chicken chunks, diced onion, parsley, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper thoroughly.
4.Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs (about 2-3cm in diameter) and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
5.Bake in a preheated 200°C (400°F) oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
6.In a large bowl, toss baked meatballs with BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Serve with toothpicks as a snack, or pair with pasta/rice for a main dish.
