Напрямки

Make the meatballs:

Step 1: Make the meatballs:

Arrange a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil if desired. Coat the foil or baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 2: Make the meatballs:

Stir 2 1/2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese (about 2/3 cup), 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves, 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 finely grated garlic cloves, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, the finely grated zest of 1 medium lemon, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a large bowl.

Step 3: Make the meatballs:

Add 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken and mix until evenly combined; do not overmix or the meatballs will be tough. Scoop out the mixture in heaping 2-tablespoon portions (about 26) and roll between damp hands until a smooth ball forms. Place on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 4: Make the meatballs:

Roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a meatball registers at least 165°F, 12 to 15 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil until golden-brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes more. When the meatballs have 5 minutes of cooking time left, make the sauce.

Make the sauce:

Step 1: Make the sauce:

Melt 1 tablespoon of the cold unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 sliced garlic cloves and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter and 1/4 cup lemon juice until the butter is just melted. Taste and season with kosher salt as needed.

Step 2: Make the sauce:

Add the meatballs to the skillet and toss to coat. Garnish with more black pepper, finely chopped parsley leaves, and grated Parmesan cheese.
