Transforming the beloved street food Pad Krapow into a bite-sized delight, these meatballs are packed with aromatic herbs and tossed in a sticky, spicy glaze. This fun twist retains the signature heat and savory notes of the original dish while offering a new texture perfect for dinner over rice or as a party appetizer.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, half of the minced garlic, and the grated ginger. Mix gently with your hands until well combined.
Roll the chicken mixture into walnut-sized meatballs (you should get about 16-20 meatballs).
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove meatballs and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining garlic and sliced chilies. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce bubbles.
Return the meatballs to the pan and toss them in the sauce until they are well glazed and sticky.
Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the fresh basil leaves. Toss until the basil wilts slightly, then serve immediately.
