These honey sriracha chicken meatballs feature a perfect balance of sweet honey and fiery sriracha in a sticky glaze, delivering juicy, tender meatballs that are quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken (preferably lean but not too dry)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2–3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds and chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat if pan-frying.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of mixture and roll into balls to make about 20 meatballs. Place them on a plate or baking sheet.
  4. If baking: Arrange meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through.
  5. If pan-frying: Cook meatballs in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  6. While meatballs cook, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes until thick and glossy.
  7. Add cooked meatballs to the glaze and gently toss to coat evenly.
  8. Transfer meatballs to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute panko breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs and use tamari instead of soy sauce. Avoid overmixing meatball mixture to keep meatballs tender. Keep an eye on glaze thickness; add water if too thick. Do not overcrowd pan when cooking meatballs to ensure browning.
