  • This easy technique for grilled chicken meatballs is the only way to go! By pre-baking the meatballs, they finish quickly on the grill, and stay moist and juicy every time. The hoisin-ginger glaze we used makes for a beautiful, glossy meatball, but you can flavor these just about any way you want. Enjoy!

    most importantly is that you brush the sauce around the outside, round the outside, round the outside.

    Chef John was not kidding with these meatballs being forgiving. I checked them at 12 minutes and they were already over 170 degrees! They were still tender even after grilling. I would definitely start checking them at the 10 minute mark.

    Made these after seeing the video yesterday and really enjoyed them! We weren’t able to grill them this time, but we broiled them the last few minutes to achieve some extra browning and they were still good. Will definitely try finishing them on the grill soon! Served them with ginger, scallion, garlic and lime rice and roasted broccoli and it was a great meal!

    John, sometimes you make me laugh a lot, you think of so many possibilities like if someone drinks too much beer at the grill,lol. They look tasty, wish I was allowed to grill where I live, but I'm thinking applying some of the sauce and placing them under a broiler for a few minutes might work, just won't have the smokey taste from the grill, or I could add liquid smoke maybe to the sauce? Thanks for sharing, always appreciated.👍❤️
