My family doesn't usually love meatballs but this was a relatively easy weeknight dinner and very tasty. I froze the extra meatballs to make another batch another time. It was pretty spicy . . . you can reduce the sriracha to 2 T - 1/4 cup if you'd like it less spicy (or use a commercially available "hot honey" instead of making your own). We served it with roasted broccolini and asparagus and white rice and served it sort of like rice bowls.
Hot Honey Chicken Meatballs (serves 4)Meatball Ingredients1 lb ground chicken
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green onion, chopped (plus more to garnish)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
Sauce Ingredients
1/3 c. Sriracha
1/3 c. honey
2 T soy sauce
1 T white wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Mix all the meatball ingredients together except for the olive oil. Form meatballs the size of golfballs (or slightly smaller). In a separate bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan on medium high heat. Add the meatballs and let them cook until brown. Turn / Flip and make sure they are browned on all sides and cooked through. Add the sauce to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
