Honey chipotle chicken meatballs
There are so many ways to serve these spicy-sweet meatballs. Stuff them in a sandwich roll or pita, spoon them over rice or spear with toothpicks and pass around as an hors d’oeuvre.
Ingredients
For the meatballs
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder

For the sauce
- 1 Tbsp adobo sauce, from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 tsp lime juice, plus wedges for serving, if desired
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Method
- In a medium bowl, mix all meatball ingredients until thoroughly combined. Using lightly oiled hands, form 16 meatballs, about 1½ inch each.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the meatballs in a single layer in the basket.
- Insert the basket into the oven’s top rack position.
- Set the oven to Air Fry at 425°F for 12 minutes.
- Cook, tossing the meatballs halfway through, until they’re lightly browned and reach an internal temperature of 165°F, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce while hot, and toss to coat.
- Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges, if using, and serve.
