Instructions

Prep the Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken/beef, breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, and seasoning. Mix until just combined.
Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into bite-sized meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
Chill Out: Place meatballs on a baking sheet and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
Make the Sticky Glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, and garlic. Mix well.
Thicken It Up: Create a slurry with cornstarch and water, then add to the saucepan, stirring until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
Assemble and Cook: Preheat grill to medium heat or oven to 400°F (200°C). Thread meatballs onto skewers.
Grill or Bake: Grill for 12-15 minutes or bake until golden and cooked through.
Glaze It Up: Brush skewers with glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat and serve garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro, if desired.
