Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Chicken Meatballs

Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Meatballs are the perfect appetizer.

 I am a sucker for a great meatball and I really like the different flavors you can get to come through using ground chicken. These little babies are the perfect finger foods. Of course using the slow cooker makes this a no fuss meal, great for parties because they can stay warm until served.

Browning them first in a hot pan then putting them in the slow cooker not only gives them a little color but helps them keep their shape and not stick together while cooking.

Add half the sauce to the slow cooker and save the other half for a dipping sauce.

Chicken is always a great alternative to beef meatballs, and the sweet and spicy sauce adds lots of flavor. You could use turkey if you like but I prefer ground chicken. And even though they taste like an indulgence its leaner then beef so of course they are more healthy for you.
