Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chicken, 1 egg, and 1 cup of teriyaki sauce.

Add about 1/2 cup of cornflake crumbs to the mixture and mix with hands.

If the mixture is too loose, add more cornflake crumbs until it firms up.

Roll the mixture into meatballs by hand.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Check the meatballs with a meat thermometer to ensure they reach 165°F.

If needed, glaze the meatballs with additional teriyaki sauce and return to the oven for another 3-4 minutes.

Remove the meatballs from the oven and serve.
