Spicy Coconut Honey Chicken Meatballs

jump to recipe

These meatballs came out amazing and the sauce is even better. I tested the recipe in the oven and the air fryer so both directions are given below. The air fryer gives them a nice golden brown finish, but you have to work in batches. The oven cooks them all at one time, with a little longer cook time involved. The sauce is spicy on its own but once you use it with the meatballs, the spice calms down. These are definitely a favorite in our house.

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. ground chicken
  • 2 T minced onion
  • 7 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 C roughly chopped cilantro
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp minced mint
  • 3 T coconut aminos
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 C coconut milk
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 T honey
  • 2 tsp sambal paste, or any chili paste
  • 2 T almond butter

‍

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl mix the chicken, onion, 5 minced garlic cloves, cilantro, green onions, mint, 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, and sea salt. Make sure it is mixed thoroughly, to evenly distribute the meat and seasonings.
  2. Use a spring-loaded ice cream scoop to make balls. You can either cook the meatballs in an air fryer or in the oven.
  3. For the air fryer- place them in the basket, making sure to not overcrowd, and cook them at 370 degrees for 9-11 minutes. You will need to cook them in batches.
  4. For the oven- preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the meatballs on the sheet pan and bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes.
  5. In a small saucepan on medium heat, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, honey, sambal paste, almond butter, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos. Whisk everything together, bring the sauce to a simmer, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Serve with the chicken meatballs with the spicy coconut honey sauce.
