Sriracha Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs

Sriracha Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs

Tasty chicken and pineapple meatballs in a pineapple teriyaki sauce spiked with sriracha chili sauce!

Up next I have some spicy sriracha teriyaki chicken meatballs that are just perfect for both snacking on while watching the game and for dinner. Anything teriyaki starts out with a teriyaki sauce and I like to make my own, especially when it’s a simple combination of salty soy sauce with something sweet like mirin or in this case brown sugar. (Teriyaki sauce usually also contains sake but it’s ok to omit it here.) These meatballs begin as you would expect with some ground chicken along with an egg and breadcrumbs as binders and they are seasoned with green onions, garlic, ginger and a touch of the tasty homemade teriyaki sauce. When I think about things teriyaki I often think about adding pineapple since it’s such a fabulous combination so these meatballs also contains some crushed pineapple and the teriyaki sauce uses pineapple juice! Once the meatballs are assembled they just take a few minutes in the oven to bake, then you toss them in the teriyaki sauce and you are in teriyaki chicken meatball heaven! Serve with toothpicks and extra sriracha chili sauce if desired!

    Do the green onions go in the meatball or just sprinkled on top?

    Razz: The green onions in the recipe go into the meatballs. You can add extra for garnish as seen in the photos is you desire. Enjoy!

    These were fantastic, easy to make and so delicious. My grocery didn't have ground chicken so I used ground turkey instead and they came out perfect!
