Expert Tips

• I like to prepare the mixture in the Thermomix and then bake them in the oven in mini-muffin tins. The muffin tins help the meatballs to cook evenly and keep their shape perfectly (but if you don't have a mini muffin tray, you can use a regular flat baking tray).
• You can use store-bought chicken mince or mince chicken breasts/thighs in the Thermomix.
• Use damp hands when rolling the meatballs (this will help the mixture to stop sticking to your hands)
• Brush a little extra sweet chilli sauce over the top of the cooked meatballs to help the sesame seeds stick and also to give the meatballs an extra delicious flavour.
• Serve the Thermomix chicken meatballs on their own, in lettuce wraps, in a rice bowl with steamed veggies, with an Asian-style salad, with noodles, pasta or mashed potato... the choice is yours!
• Freeze cooked or uncooked meatballs for up to 1 month.
• Store leftovers in the fridge and consume within 24 hours.
