  • 1 tsp. - crushed red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 380°F.
  2. 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.
  3. While the meatballs are cooking, combine the honey, vinegar and red pepper in a microwave-safe dish and heat for 1 1/2 minutes.
  4. 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.
