Air Fryer Hot Honey Chicken Meatballs
Ground chicken meatballs get crispy in the air fryer, then get tossed in a sweet and spicy glaze that makes them impossible to stop eating.

Calories: 295kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup panko
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Hot Honey sauce more or less, to taste
Instructions
- Add the chicken, egg, panko, parmesan, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to a mixing bowl and stir well with a wooden spoon or your hands to combine.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out portions of the meat mixture and roll into 20 meatballs.
- Spritz your air fryer basket with oil. Arrange the meatballs in a single layer with a bit of space between each in the basket. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry at 400 degrees for 7 minutes or until the meatballs have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Remove the meatballs to a plate and cover with foil while you make the second batch of meatballs, if needed.
- While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the hot honey sauce. If you’ve made it ahead, warm it in the microwave or on the stove until it's pourable.
- Place the meatballs in a large bowl and pour the hot honey sauce over the top and gently toss to coat the meatballs in the sauce.
- Serve hot.
Notes
We like to serve these in a bowl with white rice and broccoli, topped with green onions. Extra sauce can be drizzled over the top or saved for another use.
