These ground chicken meatballs are a fun and tasty way to enjoy the flavour of sriracha. They make great little party appetizers, meatball subs, or a filling main dish when served with steamed rice. If you like your meatballs extra spicy, you can always drizzle more sriracha on the finished meatballs.
