• If serving the meatballs with rice and veggies, start with cooking the rice according to package directions. Prepare the vegetables you will be using. We like to chop the vegetables and either sauté or roast them.

To make the meatballs:

• Add the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, diced green onion, minced garlic, and salt to a large mixing bowl to create the meatball mixture. Use your hands or a rubber spatula to combine together until the chicken mixture is combined.
• Form the meatballs using a cookie scoop*. Scoop the meat mixture and place the meatballs on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Cook the meatballs:

• If using an air fryer: set the temperature to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to cook in two batches depending on the size of the air fryer). Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning the meatballs halfway, or until each meatball reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• If baking: bake the meatballs on the baking sheet at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until each meatball reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• If cooking on a skillet: place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add a little bit of oil to the pan. Next, add the meatballs in a single layer, preventing them from touching. You may need to cook them in two batches depending on the size of your skillet. Let the meatballs cook for 4-5 minutes each side, or until they reach 165 degrees and are cooked through completely.

To make the sauce:

• While the meatballs are cooking, add the soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, honey, and garlic to a sauce pan over medium heat. Once the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to low.
• Add the cornstarch or arrowroot powder and cold water to a small bowl. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Add the cornstarch/water mixture to the saucepan with the sauce and mix constantly until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove the sauce from the heat.

To assemble:

• Place the meatballs in a large bowl or skillet and pour the sauce over the cooked meatballs. Gently stir until the meatballs are evenly coated.
• Serve with rice and veggies. There should be some extra sauce to drizzle on top of the rice and veggies as well.
