Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup (40 g) panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup (240 ml) barbecue sauce
  • ¼ cup (85 g) honey
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
  • Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for serving

Method
 

  1. Soak panko in milk 2 minutes, then mix all meatball ingredients gently and shape into 18–20 balls.
  2. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, simmer barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire, and hot sauce in a skillet for 8–10 minutes until thick and dark.
  4. Add baked meatballs to the glaze and toss to coat, then warm 2 minutes more.
  5. Transfer to a platter, top with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.

Notes

If you plan to serve these as finger food, stick a toothpick in each meatball right before setting the platter out. The glaze sets quickly once off the heat, so have your garnishes ready to go.
