Curried Rum Chicken Meatballs

I love cooking with ground chicken. You don’t need filler, as it rolls together nicely into meatballs. These curried rum chicken meatballs are not only easy to put together, but incredibly tasty with different flavors that will be a hit at your next party on the appetizer table.

I’m a finger food kind of a person, an appie person, well… I’m just a food person (ha!).

During this past year I have been sharing new and delicious chicken recipes as a Canadian Chicken Ambassador and man, has this year flown by!

I’m going to end the year with a bang – with a chicken appetizer that is not only easy, but delicious. The best part? You can easily make this into a meal by adding a yummy side dish (like cauliflower rice or three pepper salad).

I was inspired by Chicken.ca’s Curried Rum Chicken Wings, but I wanted to make a meatball so with a few alternations I came up with these curried rum chicken meatballs. You guys are going to love them!

Note: Originally, I made this with 2 tbsps soy sauce but my husband told me to publish it at 1. So I guess it depends on your taste, try both!

A big thank you to SJ Consulting and Chicken Farmers of Canada for another great year!
