Instructions
1
Prepare and Shape Meatballs
Start by heating your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a big bowl, combine the chicken, pork, bread crumbs, egg, sriracha, garlic powder, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s well combined. Shape the mixture into about 20 meatballs and place them evenly on the baking sheet.
2
Bake and flip meatballs
Pop the meatballs into the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Then, carefully flip them over and bake for another 6 minutes or until they’re cooked through and no longer pink inside. While the meatballs are baking, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a bowl to make the sauce.

Coat and Garnish Meatballs
Once the meatballs are done, let them sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly. Toss them gently with the sauce until they’re nicely coated. Arrange the meatballs on a serving plate, garnish with some shredded carrot and fresh cilantro, and don’t forget to stick a toothpick in each one for easy snacking!
