Ingredients

– 2 pounds ground chicken

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

– 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

– 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano

– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

– 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

– 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped

– 1/4 cup finely diced red onion

– 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

– 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

– Olive oil for frying; add about 1 tablespoon as needed

Instructions

1-First: combine 2 pounds of ground chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 4 cloves finely minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, then mix everything by hand until well blended.

2-Shaping and Cooking Steps: 1. Use a cookie dough scoop or tablespoon to portion the mixture into even balls. 2. Shape them into meatballs, lightly wetting your hands to prevent sticking for easier handling. 3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 4. Cook the meatballs for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned and they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit; cook in batches if your skillet is small. 5. For alternatives, bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes or air fry at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
