🍗 Carnivore Chicken Meatballs

🍗 Carnivore Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken (thigh meat preferred for fat content)

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for a cheesy kick – skip if strict carnivore)

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional – strict carnivores may omit)

• 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)

• 1–2 tbsp beef tallow, duck fat, or butter (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), or get a skillet hot on the stove if pan-frying.

2. Mix everything in a bowl:

   • Ground chicken

   • Egg

   • Salt

   • Parmesan and spices if using

3. Form into balls (about golf ball size, or whatever size you like).

4. Cook:

   • Oven: Place on a parchment-lined tray. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.

   • Pan-fry: Heat your fat in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 12–15 mins).

5. Optional: Broil for 2 minutes at the end for a crispy top.

Tips:

• Add a bit of chicken liver (1–2 tbsp puréed) for nutrient density.

• Serve with bone broth or dip in egg yolks or melted butter.

• Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze.
