Servings: persons

1 pound Ground Chicken
3 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
1/2 whole Onion, Minced
2 cloves Garlic, Finely Chopped
1 stalk Lemongrass, Tender White Inside Only, Minced
4 Tablespoons Cilantro, Chopped
1 Tablespoon Fresh Mint, Chopped
1- 1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
3 pinches Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/4 cups Granulated Sugar For Rolling The Meatballs

1
Mix the ground chicken with the rest of the ingredients (everything except for the sugar) in a large bowl.
2
Mix together thoroughly but gently because if you overwork the meat, your meatballs will be tough.
3
Using slightly damp hands, roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
4
Put them on a plate and let them sit in the fridge for half an hour or so.
5
I found the mixture a bit wet but it set up perfectly after a rest in the fridge.
6
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
7
Take the meatballs out of the fridge and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
8
Roll each meatball lightly in the granulated sugar and place on the parchment.
9
Bake the meatballs in the centre of the oven for 15 minutes, giving the pan a shake a few times to make sure you get even browning.
