Mary-nated Chicken Balls

In honour of my mother's Mary Coutinho's 70th birthday, I wanted to create an appetizer that would contain all the flavours she loves in one small bite. Introducing the Mary-nated Chicken Balls. Middle Eastern spices elevate this chicken ball to an exotic status and this is the perfect make ahead and reheat appetizer to serve at a party for fuss free entertaining.
