Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground chicken
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Oregano dried
- ¼ cup Fresh dill minced
- ¼ cup Fresh Parsley minced
- ¼ cup Fresh mint minced
- ¼ cup Red onion finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil to fry
Instructions
- Add your ground chicken into a large bowl, then add in all of your seasonings and herbs including the salt, cumin, red pepper flakes, black pepper, oregano, dill, parsley, mint, red onion, and lemon zest.
- Use your clean or gloved hands to mix the chicken in with all of the seasonings and herbs. Be careful to not over work the mixture- as it will become tough.
- Once everything is mixed together well, use an ice cream scoop or a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to form the chicken into uniform meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on a sheet of parchment paper until you have formed all of them.
- Once all of the meatballs are formed, heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently place the meatballs in the oil and fry them on each side for 2-3 minutes (each side) until they are golden brown.
- Once they are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and allow them to rest for about one minute before serving.
- Enjoy as an appetizer, or over a bed of rice, or salad!
