Ingredients

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 Tbsp. freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 1/2 tsp. chopped garlic, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 lb. ground chicken
1/3 cup chopped yellow onion
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
Canola oil, for frying
Mashed potatoes and broiled broccolini, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Combine butter, parsley, and 2 teaspoons garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place panko on a shallow plate or bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2Combine chicken, onion, egg, plain breadcrumbs, and remaining garlic in a second bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Use about 2 ounces chicken mixture to form a meatball around 1 ounce butter mixture. Roll in panko and place on a small sheet pan. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture, butter mixture, and panko.
3. Step 3Heat 1/2 inch oil to 350ºF in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven. Using a slotted spoon, lower meatballs into oil and fry, turning often, until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes and broccolini alongside.
