Well-known member
of recipes using either ground or chopped chicken thigh meat but when I want to get a recipe, nothing. Either I'm not using the right key words for google or I dreamed it. Anyone have any recipes or ideas for chicken thigh meat? Ground or chopped? TIA

 
and here's the REC: Skewered Chicken Meatballs (Kushizashi Tori Dango)

This is a nice appetizer, found in some Japanese sushi places...

Skewered Chicken Meatballs (Kushizashi Tori Dango)

9 ounces ground chicken
1 small egg
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon shoyu

Yuan Sauce:
6 tablespoons mirin
4 tablespoons shoyu
3 tablespoons sake

Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before cooking.

Put the ground chicken, egg, sugar and shoyu in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Spoon some of the mixture into your wet hand, and shape into a ball (about half the size of a golf ball). You should have about 24 balls.

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and put the chicken balls in. Cook for 7-8 minutes, then drain. (You can prepare up to this stage, then refrigerate the balls.)

Mix together the yuan sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, and reduce the sauce by a third. Remove from heat and set aside.

Thread 3 chicken balls onto each soaked bamboo skewer.

Grill over a charcoal fire, or cook under he broiler, until both sides are golden brown. Remove from heat, one skewer at a time, baste with the yuan sauce, and return to the heat to dry the sauce. Repeat this process 2-3 more times.

 
Yes, I was looking for just thigh meat. I guess I can just use it in place of ground>>>

chicken but I thought there were recipes that called for the dark meat. Thanks for all these recipe Meryl and Sandi.
