How to Make Baked Thai Chicken Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a mini muffin tin or use silicone molds.
  2. In a food processor, combine 250g ground chicken, 2 stalks lemongrass (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 spring onions (finely chopped), juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon chopped coriander, 1 large egg, and 50ml coconut milk.
  3. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not completely smooth. You want to see some texture.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared patty tins, filling each about ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken cakes are cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Let cool slightly before carefully removing from the tins.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with shredded chili and a generous drizzle of sweet chili sauce.
