Savory Honey Chicken Meatballs
Good as an appetizer, dinner, or in a sub (as pictured here). These meatballs are an easy dinner and party favorite the whole family will enjoy! Makes approximately 24 meatballs.
Ingredients for Meatballs

You will need one medium and one small bowl, as well as a baking dish. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl combine the first 6 meatball ingredients with hands. If it seems too loose add more breadcrumbs to provide more cohesion.
- Foil line or spray baking dish and roll approximately 24 meatballs with hands and place in the dish.
- Brush the meatballs with vegetable oil.

While the meatballs are cooking go ahead and prepare the sauce.

- After meatballs are cooked, cover meatballs with sauce and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
