Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan or 11x17-inch baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken, 3/4 cup plain bread crumbs, 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 teaspoons dried basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Add in 2 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and 1 large egg. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Shape into 1 to 1.5 inch balls. Whatever size you choose, they should all be roughly the same size for even cooking.
  • Bake in the preheated 400℉ oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. For extra crispy add an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
