I kept the ingredients simple for this
Asian Style Chicken Meatloaf
No need to run to the store to get a plethora of asian ingredients you are only going to need once.
The glaze is a mixture of ketchup, bbq, soy sauce and few other things you probably have in your cupboard. Keeping it easy for ya!
And let me tell ya, if you think taking pictures of meatloaf is easy…then you have never taken pictures of meatloaf!
This recipe was one of the first half dozen or so recipes I published on my blog back in the stone age. My family actually ate most of it before I remembered to take some photos. Such a newbie! But I had no idea anybody but my Mom would be looking at this site. Things have changed quite a bit! Here is a snippet of the picture…I know, I know, I know…ugh. It’s amazing anyone ever came back after viewing this lovely little meat nugget…
Enjoyed that walk down memory lane…not. The only thing that gives me comfort is to know that this is a super flavorful recipe, especially when you are tired of regular old meatloaf!
To meat nuggets…sorry, not sorry!

If you love potstickers, you are going to love this version of Asian Chicken Meatloaf!
- 1 pound ground chicken I used 93/7% fat
- 1 pound ground chicken sausage we prefer chicken but pork is fine too
- 1/2 cup panko crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon ginger, fresh grated or 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 cup soy sauce prefer low sodium
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped I used the whites of green onions and saved the tops for garnish
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts, chopped 8 oz can, drained
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with non stick spray.
Combine all meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl. (excluding glaze ingredients). Your hands are your best tools for this!
Add to prepared loaf pan.
Combine your glaze ingredients in a small bowl Pour over uncooked meatloaf and spread evenly.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 50 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
Serve with white rice and steamed broccoli if desired!
We prefer to use ground chicken or turkey 93/7 or 95/5 fat content. The all white ground chicken or turkey is a bit dry.
Serve with a simple side of steamed veggies like broccoli or these delicious Honey Glazed Carrots!
Did you use Italian sausage or chicken italian sausage when you made this? I am excited to try it but want to be sure I understood that second ingredient in the recipe. Thanks.
I used chicken sausage but pork will work too! We really like a lower fat version so it doesn’t cook in all the grease.
Hi there! I’m a pretty picky cook and I followed your recipe almost exactly. I didn’t have green onions so I just used the regular yellow ones, added finely chopped cilantro stems and some chilli powder. It was gorgeous!! Thank u for an amazing recipe!
Hi Sharon, I have always loved this recipe and don’t think it gets the attention it deserves! Thanks for the meatloaf love! Glad you liked it.
This was delicious! I second that it tastes like a potsticker. Easy to make too.
I’m so glad you liked it Anne! Thank you for the nice note!
It’s nice that you are re-sharing this recipe. I mean as food bloggers we evolve and at that time, as a beginnger, it was difficult to show how tasty a dish is. At least that’s how I feel. 🙂 Right now I am craving your meatloaf and I love all the ingredients involved!
Thank you Helene! Some of my older recipes are the ones I wanted to share the most when I first stated blogging…it’s been fun re-blogging them!
An Asian twist on meatloaf? That’s really a unique meal! I’m not big on meatloaves in general, but I know a lot of people are! Great idea!
Mmmm. This looks good, I love this spin on meatloaf! Must try!
This is something we would love! Love the water chestnuts in it.
Is there anything better than meatloaf? I love this flavorful spin on the classic and I know it would be a hit in my house!
This was really good! It does taste l.ike the inside of a potsticker.
I am so glad you liked it Jamie! Thanks for the note!
Do you use both fresh and ground ginger
Hi Jamie – no, either one or the other. I’ll clarify the recipe…sorry!
