Ingredients
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 egg beaten, large
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Grease the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray or brush it with olive oil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, salt, and red pepper flakes.
- Next, add the beaten egg and grated garlic. Mix to combine.
- Finally, add the chicken and very gently mix to combine. You don’t want to compact the meat or you’ll end up with dense meatballs.
- Coat your hands with olive oil and scoop out golf ball-sized portions. Roll them into smooth balls and place them in the air fryer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket. I got about 20 meatballs.
- Cook the meatballs at 380 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or until the outside of the meatballs is golden brown and the inside registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Coat the meatballs in the sauce (below) and sprinkle with grated parmesan and flakey sea salt, if using. Enjoy immediately.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
