{Versions & Verdicts} Oana’s Sriracha Chicken Balls

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. 😀

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 cup breadcrumbs

Olive oil, for frying

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!
