1 pound Ground chicken a lean meat that keeps these meatballs tender and juicy.
1 cup Bread crumbs provide the perfect binding agent for a delightful texture.
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese adds a rich, savory flavor that complements the sweet of the hot honey.
1/4 cup Chopped parsley freshens up the flavor and adds a vibrant touch.
1 large Egg acts as a binder, helping the meatballs hold their shape during baking.
2 cloves Minced garlic infuses a bold, aromatic depth to each bite.
1 teaspoon Salt enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness of the hot honey.
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper adds a hint of warmth and mild spice.

1/4 cup Hot honey the star ingredient that brings both sweetness and a kick of heat.
2 tablespoons Olive oil helps achieve a beautiful golden crust while keeping the meatballs moist.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1-2 inches in diameter.
Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about an inch apart.
Drizzle with olive oil to enhance the flavor and help create a crispy outer layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Finish by removing the meatballs from the oven and drizzling them with hot honey.

For an added touch, serve with fresh parsley.
