Fried Chicken Meatballs

AKA “Yellow Meatballs” by my kids🤍

Been making these for years since my kids had them once at my cousin’s house.

They are great on a bed of couscous, rice, pasta… or on Pessach, a yummy quinoa! The yellow sauce pools into the starch, which absorbs it and it just becomes the best!

Best kid friendly food!

Meatballs:

• 1 kg minced chicken (brown and white mixed)

• 1 onion
