Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 380°F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, chili pepper, and salt. Make 16 - 1” meatballs and place in the air fryer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through cook time.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, combine the honey, vinegar and red pepper in a microwave-safe dish and heat for 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven and toss with the hot honey and scallions, serve immediately.

Notes

Dip your fingers in a bowl of cold water as you roll the meatballs, this makes it much easier! You can also bake these meatballs in the oven on a sheet pan @ 375°F for 10-12 minutes if you prefer.
