If you need this recipe to be gluten-free, make sure that whichever meatball you choose is in fact gluten-free.
Many meatballs have sneaky gluten in them (usually because of breadcrumbs!)
You can use frozen or refrigerated, or fresh meatballs. You can even make your own.
Whichever route you choose to go down, just cook up your meatballs according to package or recipe instructions in your oven.
Meatball Instructions:
- Bake your meatballs according package or recipe instructions, depending on where you are getting your chicken meatballs from.
- While your meatballs are baking, mix together the barbecue, hoisin, and soy sauces, the honey, and garlic powder until well combined in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Once the meatballs are done baking, remove from heat and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. After cooled, place the meatballs in the large bowl with the sauce and carefully tos the meatballs in the Asian zing sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion garnishes and enjoy while still warm!
Recipe Pro Tips:
Try this zingy meatball recipe with gluten-free beef meatballs or perfectly-baked Turkey Meatballs!
Make sure that your meatballs are given ample time to cool down before tossing them in sauce. This ensures that the sauce’s consistency is perfectly smooth and sticky!
Leftover Meatballs:
Make sure that the meatballs that you want to save as leftovers have been allowed to cool down to room temperature before storing them away.
Place the leftover meatballs in a food-safe airtight container and put this in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat these meatballs, place the refrigerated meatballs on a microwave-safe plate or microwave-safe dish.
Place a loose-fitting cover on the top of the dish to help prevent splatter inside your microwave.
Make sure that air can still escape from under this cover or lid.
Microwave on high power for 45-60 seconds, depending on how hot you like your leftover meatballs.
