Thai Basil Chicken Meatballs with Chili Glaze

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.

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
4 Thai bird's eye chilies, thinly sliced (adjust for spice)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 cup fresh Thai holy basil or sweet basil leaves

Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Roll the chicken mixture into walnut-sized meatballs (you should get about 16-20 meatballs).

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add the remaining garlic and sliced chilies. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Return the meatballs to the pan and toss them in the sauce until they are well glazed and sticky.

  7. 7

    Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the fresh basil leaves. Toss until the basil wilts slightly, then serve immediately.
