These amazing meatballs are so meaty, tender and delicious, if you don t tell people they re made mostly from chicken they will probably never know. Moral dilemma sold separately. Greg: I don't know if Chef John actually reads these comments but I do have two questions for him.
1) Could you use chicken schmaltz instead of pork fat/bacon fat? I was wondering if it would just run out of the meatball.
2) Would you ever consider using this inside of a ravioli for the purpose of creating a slight different flavour?
Thank you in advance.

I'm not gonna cut and grind up my own chicken and I don't really care for the texture anyway.
I use ground turkey and add some cooked rice in there to emulate the little bits of fat that would be in ground beef.
I think they also come out better in an air fryer, but it ain't bad from the oven either.

AHHHHH - Fresh bread. thats the key. I've always used crushed club crackers for mine but using the fresh bread will retain the moisture and keep them from drying out too much. Definitely going to try this with my next batch using some of my sourdough! And I like to the no egg bit. Just use bacon fat. Brilliant!

I thought these were only good in fairy tales
Meat meant for something else but not for this.
Taste was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams
Then I saw these balls, now I'm a believer!

I thought the whole point of chicken meatballs was to be healthier than beef, but you've gone and put a bunch of pork fat in them. I'm sure they are delicious, but seems to me that the pork fat sort of defeats the purpose.

science question:
why not 'panade' the breadcrumbs, a la prison loaf?
asking bc your prison loaf is _gorgeous_ juicy.
(prison loaf isn't as beef forward as other recipes BUT it's more than ground chicken)

I was buying ground chicken and doing a version of this but after this video, I will get whole thighs and make this in the food processor. That addition of pork fat will be amazing. Thank you chef!

I want to make these Asian inspired with water chestnuts, ginger, cilantro and a little soy sauce. I might add a little pork belly too.

Chef John, I just had a traditional garbage plate in Rochester. My food wish is a garbage-plate-inspired party dip for March Madness.
