Sweet and Spicy Chicken Meatballs

These sweet and spicy meatballs are a snap to make and are packed with flavor thanks to ample amounts of fresh scallions, punchy ginger, and minced garlic. The multifaceted sauce is composed of pantry ingredients and is equally hot and sweet (if you’re spice averse we recommend reducing the amount of sriracha to 1 tsp). The sauce is so delicious you might want to make a double batch, we’ve been drizzling it over just about everything!
