AIR FRYER CHICKEN MEATBALLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your air fryer to 390°F. Coat the basket of your air fryer lightly with olive oil.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg and breadcrumbs. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the breadcrumbs.
• Add the remaining ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
• Use a meatballer or tablespoon to form the mixture into 1 1/2" balls. Roll the balls gently between dampened hands to shape.
• Mist the meatballs lightly with olive oil spray, then arrange them in the basket. Cook for 12 minutes, turning the meatballs halfway through the cooking process. The meatballs are done when the outside is browned and crisp and the inside reaches a temperature of 165°F.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, eggs, paprika, and onion powder. Mix well.
• Add the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan. Combine, but do not overmix.
• Using 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture per meatball, make meatballs. Transfer to the air fryer basket. Spray the meatballs with nonstick cooking spray.
• Working in batches, fry at 400 F (200 C) for 10 minutes. Turn meatballs and spray with more cooking spray. Fry for a further 6-7 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
• Remove one cooked meatball at a time, then dip in the sauce. Return to the basket. Repeat until all have been coated. Fry for additional 2 minutes.
• To make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients, except red pepper flakes. Mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until sauce thickens. Add red pepper flakes and stir well to combine.
