Hand mix the meat mixture until everything is combined, but do not over mix. If you over mix with your hands, the meatballs can become mealy. Meatballs usually are. They’re the perfect bite, really, a big ball of seasoned ground meat, typically drenched in some sort of wonderful meatballs sauce or glaze. Drool. Just like this particular recipe. We’re talking Spicy Korean Chicken Meatballs. YES! They’re browned up in a hot pan, then transferred to the oven to cook through and finish up. Once they’re ready, we baste them with a spicy glaze made from sweet pepper jelly, more spicy gochujang, rice vinegar and soy sauce. Such a wonderful combination. If you haven’t cooked with gochujang, you need to add it to your shopping list. It’s such a huge flavor builder. Learn more about gochujang here, and why you need it in your kitchen.
