Make these easy, sticky, sweet and spicy meatballs coated in a flavorful Sriracha honey glaze. They are perfect as an appetizer or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely grated onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, milk, egg, grated onion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Roll the mixture into uniform 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake the meatballs for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. While the meatballs bake, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together the honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  7. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the simmering glaze.
  8. Continue to cook and stir for 1 minute until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
  9. Place the hot, cooked meatballs into a large bowl. Pour the Sriracha honey glaze over the meatballs. Toss gently until every meatball is evenly coated in the sticky glaze.
  10. Serve immediately as a gourmet appetizer or over rice for dinner.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker option, bake the meatballs first, then place them in the slow cooker and pour the glaze over them. Cook on low for 2 hours.
  • Adjust the Sriracha amount to control the spice level in your sweet chili meatballs.
  • If the glaze seems too thick after cooling slightly, add a teaspoon of water to thin it to your preferred consistency.
