Oh my gosh, my new Sriracha Chicken Meatballs are LIFE. I made a double batch of these and served for dinner then saved the rest for meals throughout the week. I could literally eat them every single day of the week. THEY ARE SIMPLY INCREDIBLE! It is also Keto, Whole30, Paleo and Macro friendly.
Additionally, these freeze well. If I get to the end of the week and still have meatballs left, I will throw in the freezer and they will last up to 3 months. I simply thaw them and reheat and they are the perfect easy grab and go protein option. They even serve as a great snack in between meals. I will heat up a couple in between lunch and dinner and it fills me up and helps me get in all my protein for the day.

Thank you
This is a great recipe! It is so tasty but so easy to make.
Making them for dinner again tonight.
This makes me so happy. Glad you enjoyed them
Ughhhh my oven isn’t working is there any other way you can cook them?
If you have an air fryer it works for just about everything.
These look amazing but I will have to wait until after my whole30 since I cannot find any sriracha without sugar. Did you have a particular brand you use?
Yellow Bird is a great brand!
These are a staple at my house! They are quick, easy, and packed full of flavor!!! Thank you Ashley!
So happy to hear. Thank you!
Made these as part of the Clean Keto challenge. They are so good!
I love this recipe! I make it all the time. Super quick, easy and delicious!
Hi Anna,
So thrilled to hear a recipe has made the family favorite rotation. Thank you for the kind words and review. Happy eating!!
I made these for dinner this week, and they are delicious. I hadn’t thought before on a dish like this to calculate my macros per meatball, but that makes it so easy for me to determine how many I can eat in a particular meal, including the leftovers for lunches.
These were delicious! My husband wanted them for lunch the next day and he normally does not like leftovers. He said these are a keeper recipe. Thank you so much!
