Notes

1. Chicken mince sold in supermarkets in packets can sometimes be quite watery which makes the meatball mixture hard to roll into balls. So check the packet – if there are pools of water, avoid it! If you go to a butcher, ask for thigh rather than breast – better flavour.

If your mixture is very wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs and/or refrigerate mixture for 30 minutes (this firms it up).
