Ingredients

• 3/4 pound ground chicken
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), or fresh breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons sliced scallions
• 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons white miso paste
• 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• Soy dipping sauce (such as Soy-Lime Dipping Sauce)
• Vegetable oil (for grill)
• 4 cups chicken broth or water
• Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Combine chicken, egg, panko, scallions, soy sauce, miso paste, ginger, and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, roll mixture into 1" balls, packing firmly. Transfer balls to a rimmed baking sheet or large plate.
2. For grilling: Divide soy dipping sauce between 2 bowls (half for serving and half for brushing meatballs while cooking). If using wooden skewers, soak 15 minutes. Thread 2 skewers through each meatball, with 2–3 meatballs per pair of skewers. Prepare a grill for medium-high, direct heat, or place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Generously oil grates or grill pan. Grill meatballs until light grill marks form, 3–4 minutes. Turn and continue to grill until outside of meatballs are browned, 2 minutes longer.Brush meatballs with sauce, then turn and brush again. Baste and turn until meatballs are glazed and cooked through, about 1 minute more (if they start to burn, reduce heat or move to a cooler part of the grill). Serve with remaining dipping sauce.
