I know you asked for CHICKEN... I think you could use this recipe with ground chicken rather than ground turkey!
SWEET AND SOUR TURKEY BALLS
Marinade half Cup minced scallions half teaspoon finely mincedfresh ginger 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon corn oil half teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon rice wine 1 extra large egg 3 tablespoons water
1 pound ground veal or turkey 3 tablespoons corn oil 1 pound Chinese cabbage, shredded half teaspoon kosher salt half teaspoon sugar 2 cups corn oil
Sauce 4 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce half teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2/3 Cup water 1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1. Combine the marinade ingredients with the ground meat. Stir in one direction until the mixture feels light and sticky. 2. Heat a wok and add the 3 tablespoons corn oil. When the oil is hot, stir fry the Chinese cabbage until it is coated with oil. Sprinkle on the salt and sugar, stir and cover for a few minutes until soft. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm. Wipe the wok clean. 3. Reheat the wok and add the 2 cups of corn oil. While the oil is heating, wet your hands and form the meat mixture into balls each about the size of a large walnut. When the oil reaches 325_ F., deep fry the meatballs for 3 minutes, turning frequently until done. Remove and drain on paper towels. Place them on top of the cooked cabbage and keep both warm. 4.
