Instructions
1
Start by preparing the onion, either by grating or finely chopping it.
2
Mix the ground meat thoroughly with all the salt - the easiest and best way is to mix it in a stand mixer with the flat beater/k-beater. It should be mixed for 3.5 - 4 minutes by hand or at low speed on a stand mixer.
3
When the meat mixture has a good and firm consistency, you add the flour, pepper, onion, Herbes de Provence, and eggs, and mix everything well. You can advantageously use a sieve for the flour to minimize the risk of lumps.
4
Be careful not to make the mixture too runny. Therefore, add the milk a little at a time – the mixture for the chicken meatballs should be able to be shaped.
5
Now stir the meat mixture for about 4 minutes.
6
Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to bind the mixture, making it easier to work with and enhances the flavor.
7
Heat a mixture of butter and oil in a pan over medium heat. It's important that the pan is hot enough to form a crust but not so hot that the fat burns.
8
Shape the mixture into oval meatballs using a tablespoon coated in some of the frying fat. This trick prevents the mixture from sticking and makes it easier to achieve a uniform shape.
9
Brown the meatballs thoroughly on all sides until they have a golden and appetizing crust. Carefully flip them to ensure even frying.
10
After frying, let the meatballs rest in a dish covered to retain their juiciness. This also allows them to heat evenly afterward.
11
Serve the juicy chicken meatballs hot, accompanied by your favorite sides.
12
Enjoy your homemade chicken meatballs!
