   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped scallions, ground coriander, chopped cilantro, and fresh lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. Form the Meatballs:

   • Wet your hands with water to prevent the mixture from sticking, then take about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a meatball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up, forming approximately 50 meatballs.

3. Cook the Meatballs:

   • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Shallow-fry the meatballs, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch.

4. Serve:

   • Once cooked, transfer the meatballs to a serving platter lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the Thai chicken meatballs hot with Thai cucumber sauce, Thai red chile sauce, or your preferred dipping sauces on the side.

5. Enjoy:

   • These Thai chicken meatballs are best enjoyed hot and fresh, making them a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a party or simply craving a flavorful treat, these meatballs are sure to satisfy your taste buds!

Tips:

• To save time, you can prepare the meatball mixture in advance and refrigerate it until you’re ready to cook.
• If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the meatballs in the oven instead of frying them. Simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Experiment with different dipping sauces to add variety to your meal. Try peanut sauce, sweet chili sauce, or soy-ginger dipping sauce for a delicious twist!
• These Thai chicken meatballs can also be served as a main dish with rice or noodles, or added to soups and stir-fries for extra flavor and protein.

Conclusion:

With their bold Thai flavors and juicy texture, these chicken meatballs are sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Whether you’re serving them as appetizers at a party or enjoying them as a quick snack, these meatballs are guaranteed to impress.
