Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, seasoned salt, soy sauce, parmesan, and chives. Mix until fully combined.

Step 2

Using a kitchen scale, weigh each meatball to be 50 grams. This should leave you with 10 large meatballs. Roll the meatball in the palm of your hand until it is round.

Step 3

Spray the inside of your air fryer basket with cooking spray then place the meatballs in the basket, leaving a bit of space between each one to avoid them sticking together.

Air fry for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. After the 10 minutes are up, flip the meatballs, then air fry for another 5 minutes.

(Or, place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 400F.)

Step 4

While the meatballs are cooking, you can make the firecracker glaze.

In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, hot sauce, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and red pepper flakes. Heat on medium heat for a few minutes until ingredients are incorporated. The glaze will thicken up.

Step 5

After the meatballs are done cooking in the air fryer, take each meatball and coat it in the glaze.

Garnish with fresh chives and sesame seeds.
