Preheat the Oven : Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Mixture : In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, egg, lime zest, panko breadcrumbs, cilantro, ginger, lemongrass, garlic, kosher salt, and sweet chili sauce. Mix gently with a spatula or your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs dense.

Shape the Meatballs : Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 1–1 1/2-inch meatballs. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to ensure even cooking.

Bake the Meatballs : Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Serve : Serve the meatballs hot with an extra drizzle of sweet chili sauce or peanut sauce on the side. Pair them with steamed jasmine rice, noodles, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. They also make an excellent appetizer for parties!
