Asian Style Chicken Meatloaf !   –   Tastes like the inside of a chicken potsticker!  A whole new twist on a classic recipe!

If you like potstickers you are going to love this meatloaf!  All the yummy asian flavors of the inside of a chicken potsticker, without the wrapper!  The kicker is the chopped water chestnuts that add a fabulous crunch!

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!

Clink!

  • 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

For Glaze

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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!

    My expectations were low, but I have to say that this recipe surprised me in really pleasant way. The flavor was spectacular, reminiscent of the inside of a pot sticker, with a texture that was firm enough to hold together, but not tough. The glaze was sweetly delicious, providing an appropriate contrast to the savory chicken meatloaf. I can imagine using this glaze for anything that calls for BBQ sauce.

    What is the purpose of using both ground chicken AND ground chicken sausage? I’m new to cooking with chicken (it’s a necessary thing for me, medically, ugh) and I don’t quite grasp what the difference is? If someone could explain, I’d be eternally grateful!!! Thank y’all!!

      Hi Krystal – Ground chicken sausage (or pork for that matter) have a variety of savory spices that plain ground chicken does not. Imagine if you ordered hamburger or sausage at a restaurant…totally different flavors. If you can’t find chicken sausage you can easily substitute pork sausage for this recipe! Hope that helps.

    What kind/brand of chicken sausage do you use? The only poultry sausage I usually see that isn’t Italian seasoned or cooked is turkey breakfast sausage.

    We made this meatloaf tonight for dinner and it was excellent. We couldn’t find chicken sausage so just used Italian Mild pork sausage and I thought it worked just fine. I’m also really glad we used fresh ginger, because it was nice to taste the little extra bites of flavor while eating the meatloaf and the sauce. For sides I made a brown rice and a garlic roasted bok choy. I have already sent the recipe to my family! Thanks so much for sharing!

    I made this for my family and they loved it! It really does taste like a pot sticker! I will absolutely make this again. I used sweet Italian chicken sausage from Whole Foods, and Hoisin sauce instead of BBQ sauce in the glaze (because I hate BBQ sauce, and I wanted it to be more authentic to the cuisine). The only thing I will do differently next time is to omit the salt–because it would presumably be salty enough with just soy sauce, even with using low-sodium (which I did) .

      So glad you liked it! It’s one of those recipes thats always in our weeknight rotation. I’m thinking subbing hoisin for the bbq is the salt culprit but love the addition of it for a more authentic asian flavor. Thank you for your note!

    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.

    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!

    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!
