Instructions

Preheat the oven to 500ºF and prepare a mini-muffin pan or baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine milk and panko breadcrumbs, letting it sit for 5 minutes to soak.
In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, minced garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and the soaked breadcrumbs using your hands to ensure even distribution.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, using about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture for each ball.
Place the meatballs into the prepared pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fully cooked.

Notes

Use freshly minced garlic and ginger for the best flavor.
Feel free to adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
These meatballs can also be frozen for later enjoyment.
