Notes

  • The NUMBER of meatballs you make will depend on how large you make each meatball.
  • To cook meatballs in the air fryer, oil the air fryer basket, preheat the air fryer to 180C/350F, then place the chicken meatballs into the hot air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the basket and give it a shake so the meatballs change position. Cook for a further 10 minutes, or until each meatball is completely cooked in the center.
