Spicy Chicken Balls, a copycat from fast food restaurant that turned out more delicious

Hi! I’m back with Spicy Chicken Balls recipe that inspired by a menu from fast food restaurant. I tried to copycat spicy chicken bites. When I tried spicy chicken bites at that restaurant for the first time it tasted so delicious. Unfortunately when I cut it open, the inside is almost all dough that has aroma of chicken meat with just a little bit real meat in it.

I want to challenge myself to make it as delicious as the original menu but more nutritious by making it from chicken meat. So I tried to make this with my sisters at home. According to my expectations we are very satisfied with the result.

Look how juicy the spicy chicken balls are!

We used skinless and boneless chicken thighs and we use the cartilage from the bones so we can taste crunchy texture in it. It feels very satisfied when we chew it.

Why use chicken thigh instead of chicken breast? We love chicken thigh more than chicken breast because it’s more tender and the fat content is higher. The fat will make the spicy chicken balls taste more delicious.

The size is bigger than spicy chicken bites from the original one so we name it spicy chicken balls. Do you think the name is weird? I hope not haha..

This recipe has really big flavor, my friend has said that it’s even more tasty than all chicken nugget packages from supermarket. What a compliment because my friend is so picky about determining delicious food. Haha..
