Air Fryer Chipotle Chicken Meatballs
By now, we all know the magic of the air fryer. Whether you're looking for an easy snack or quick weeknight meal, the air fryer is one of our favorite ways to cut down on cooking time (and extra dirty dishes).
Ingredients :
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, plus 2 tsp. sauce
- 3/4 tsp. dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil cooking spray
- Salsa verde, for serving
Directions :
- In a medium bowl, using your hands, mix ground chicken, panko, cilantro, egg, garlic, chipotle chiles and sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper until combined. Roll into 1" balls.
- Lightly coat an air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, arrange meatballs in basket, spacing about 1/2" apart. Cook at 370°, turning a few times, until outsides of meatballs are golden brown and centers are cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Arrange meatballs on a platter. Spoon salsa verde over top or serve alongside for dipping.
