Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a baking dish with cooking spray (or line a baking sheet with parchment paper).

Form the meatballs. Add the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, garlic, green onion, egg, soy sauce, ground ginger, salt and black to a large bowl and mix together with your hands.Form the mixture into 1 inch balls and place them in your prepared baking dish. (Alternatively, you can brown the meatballs in a sauté pan for a few minutes on each side before placing them in the dish.)

Bake. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Make the orange sauce. While the meatballs bake, whisk the orange juice, orange zest, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, soy sauce and red pepper flakes together in a bowl until the honey dissolves.Pour the sauce into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. While the sauce heats, whisk the cornstarch and water together to make a "slurry". Once boiling, add the cornstarch slurry and whisk until the sauce begins to thicken.

Toss & serve. Toss the meatballs in your sauce until they're fully coated. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion (if desired) and serve immediately.
