Honey BBQ chicken meatballs are so JUICY and simple to make. These baked chicken meatballs are coated in a semi-homemade honey BBQ sauce for the perfect protein for a sandwich, a salad, grains, and more. These honey BBQ chicken meatballs are loosey-goosey based on my Italian baked turkey meatballs, which feature lean ground turkey and Italian flavors, all the while being better-for-you baked and juicy.

Ingredients

Honey BBQ Sauce

1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. honey
3/4 cup BBQ sauce

Baked Chicken Meatballs

1 pound ground chicken
1/2 tsp. paprika, smoked or regular
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dried parsley
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated onion
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs

Method

01

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray generously with cooking spray.
02

Add eggs to a large mixing bowl and whisk until light and creamy. Add panko, Parmesan, grated onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Using your hands (or with a wooden spoon), mix together all of the ingredients until evenly combined.
03

Using a 2-tbsp capacity cookie scoop, form meatballs and place them evenly spaced onto the prepared baking sheet.
04

Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until the center reach 165°F. Towards the end of the cook time, add the BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar to a small saucepan set over low heat. Whisk as the mixture simmers until heated throughout.
05

Once fully cooked, let the meatballs cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Gently release them from the foil/paper if they stick a bit. Serve with a drizzle of honey BBQ sauce over top, or toss the meatballs in the sauce.
