{Versions & Verdicts} Oana’s Sriracha Chicken Balls
May 8, 2015
Delicious chicken balls (not deep-fried), with a touch of Sriracha sauce. Served with Dynamite Sauce.
As a foodie, I browse restaurant menus multiple times. And when I say multiple times, that applies to main dishes, pasta and of course, desserts. 😀 Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against starters/appetizers or soups. But for me to enjoy my main dish, I mostly need to skip them.But then…There are appetizers that you just can’t resist. I am not the appetizer kind of girl, but when you put Dynamite Shrimps in front of me, expect them to be gone in seconds! What I really love about it is the sauce which has Sriracha on it. Since I discovered this amazing sauce, I just can’t keep myself from saying ‘Wow’ every time I see a recipe with the name ‘Sriracha’. There are so many recipes with Sriracha that I’d love to try – it’s crazy! But let’s do that one at a time…
It was early morning when I opened my email that says: ADORE FOODS: SRIRACHA CHICKEN BALLS. And I immediately clicked the link that directed me to Oana’s post. You can imagine me said ‘Wow’ multiple times. I mean, come on, who could resist such beautiful chicken balls?? No one… especially when you are a Sriracha lover.
And since I love dynamite sauce so much, I used is as the sauce instead of having the Sriracha alone. Besides, the Sriracha sauce was lonely and needed some company. 😀
Sriracha Chicken Balls with Dynamite Sauce
- Difficulty: easy
- 500g chicken, mince/ground
- 2 tbsp red bellpepper, diced
- 2 tbsp spring onions, finely sliced/diced
- 3 tbsp carrots, grated
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except olive oil in a large bowl, adding breadcrumbs as needed to form small balls.
- In a medium heat, drizzle/spray olive oil in a pan and cook/fry chicken balls until golden brown. Drain excess oil if there is and set aside.
- Serve with Dynamite Sauce (recipe below).
Dynamite Sauce Recipe:
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp. Sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp. honey
Instructions:
- Mix the sauce and do a taste test. If the taste is fine with you, you can set the sauce aside in the fridge while cooking the chicken balls. If not, you can make adjustments.
{my Version} Let me just say that I did a happy dance. 😀
{Verdicts} These are so perfect – they are so small and cute that you can’t stop yourself from eating them, especially when served with Dynamite Sauce, or even Sriracha alone. I can’t tell you how many I finished in one sitting – the world just stopped when I kept popping these into my mouth. 😛
I hope you enjoy these little yums and you get a chance to make it. Happy weekend!

I love Oana’s food! 🙂 These look delicious Jhuls! We always have Mayo and Sriracha at home because my mum always added Sriracha to our Mayonnaise, and I have passed down the habit to my husband! 😀 I need to make these now! It would be a hit at home! 😀
Jhuls
Of course you do – Oana’s foods are just amazing!
Haha! Me, too. I just got big bottle of mayo and Sriracha. They are just perfect together! Thanks, Dini. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

Sonal Kalra
You had me at Sriracha! These look delicious! I make this sauce often and call it the Boom Boom sauce! Haha 😁 Hope you’re keeping well Jhuls 🙂 Happy FF!
Sonal Kalra
And I also use Thai sweet chili sauce ☺️
Jhuls
Yeah! I’ve read somewhere that it is called as Boom Boom Sauce and it uses Thai chili sauce. I must give that a try – I really love Thai chili sauce. I make sure I always have it. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Sonal. Have a great weekend! Happy FF! xx
Sonal Kalra
Thank you, Jhuls! 🙂
Lili
They look really delicious Jhuls!! Can I use hot chili sauce instead of Sriracha? (I’m not sure if I can find it in Barcelona) Would really like some of these Chicken balls right now! 🙂
Jhuls
For the chicken balls, I think hot sauce could be used. For the sauce, I think sweet chili sauce can replace the sriracha, but you need to play with the measurements. 🙂 Thanks a lot, Lili. Happy FF to you! xx
Lili
That’s very useful – thanks Jhuls! Happy FF to you too! 🙂 x
Jess
These look like the perfect party food Jhuls, way too easy to put away way too many lol
Happy Fiesta Friday!

I love your Dynamite Sauce recipe. I can see myself adding this sauce to pretty much everything. Have a wonderful weekend!
Jhuls
I was going to send you a message when the day I made these, but I thought of surprising you instead. I guess it worked? 😀 You have so many amazing recipes that I’d want to try, Oana. Thanks for sharing them. Have a lovely weekend to you as well. <3
