There can’t be a better time for this Chicken Meatball in plum sauce than this festive season. What I love about Christmas is that this festival is all about family,friends and food. So Christmas has grown over me in recent years .There is a host of delicacies made with a lot of love and have been part of for long.
This sweet,Spicy and sticky chicken meatballs are perfect when you are planing a get together for a large crowd. The sauce and meatballs cane be prepared a day or two earlier. And toss it together just before serving.
