- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the breadcrumbs, parmesan, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper together.
- Add the ground chicken, egg and pressed garlic. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, without overworking the meat.
- Shape into 1 ½ tablespoon (28 g) balls and set them on the lined sheet, spaced so they do not touch.
- Lightly brush the tops of the meatballs with cooking oil.
- Bake on the center rack for 10 to 12 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160–165°F (74°C).
- While the meatballs bake, warm the BBQ sauce in a large pot over medium-low heat.
- Transfer the hot meatballs to the pot and stir to coat. Cook several minutes, until the sauce clings to them and they are cooked through. Serve warm.
