Ingredients
Crunchy air-fried chicken drumsticks
Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a big bowl, mix together the chicken, pork, bread crumbs, egg, sriracha, garlic powder, chives, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Roll the mixture into about 20 meatballs and spread them out on the baking sheet.
Step 2
Pop them in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Then carefully flip each meatball and bake for another 6 minutes or until they’re cooked through and no longer pink inside. While they’re baking, whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a bowl to make the glaze.
Step 3
Once the meatballs are done, take them out and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Then gently toss them in the sauce until they’re nicely coated. Arrange the meatballs on a serving plate, garnish with some shredded carrot and fresh cilantro, and stick a toothpick in each one for easy snacking.
