Secret to juicy Meatballs
Juicy chicken meatballs are key to this recipe and here are some tips that you can use every time you make meatballs to keep them soft and juicy: Mix the add ins first: While mixing meatballs, I have a step that I never miss. I add all the add ins like breadcrumbs, egg, seasoning etc to the bowl and mix them together first so that when I add my ground meat, it’s much easier to combine the flavors and there is no chance of over mixing Don’t over mix: To keep meatballs from becoming tough while cooking, do not over mix the mixture. Avoid using force while mixing, and just toss everything together gently. I would highly recommend using your hands, as that will give you the best control. If your mixture looks pasty, you’ve gone too far. Don’t overcook: It’s easy to overcook chicken meat. In this case, I sear the meatballs in the pan to lock the flavors in and then simmer the meatballs in the sauce till they are cooked through. These meatballs need 15-20 minutes of cooking time
