These honey sriracha meatballs are the perfect sweet and spicy appetizer for any event! Find out how easy it is to prep these in just about 5 minutes.

I love quick appetizer ideas. For three reasons:
One, you can spend more time on the main course.
Two, they're perfect for those unexpected guests that might pop in.
And three, they're perfect for baby showers. Baby showers require a lot of work and a lot of food, so having a simple recipe like this one can make your life so much easier.
Because it's easy to make a small portion of them, it's also easy to make them more in bulk for a larger crowd.
The sauce for these meatballs is actually one of the most versatile sauces. I originally used this sauce for baked chicken wings, but it's even better on these meatballs, I think!
And they were so good and so easy, that I knew I needed to share them in full.
Depending on your crowd, you can either serve these individually or on a skewer as meatballs on a stick!
And if there will be young kiddos, you can also leave the hot sauce off or use a little less, so that it isn't too spicy for your mini guests.
I also love these Goat Cheese Rosemary Baked Chicken Meatballs and these Ricotta Stuffed Sausage Meatballs, which would also make wonderful appetizers. Or if you're looking for more of a full meal, try this Cabbage and Meatballs recipe!
These meatballs couldn't be easier to make in a hurry as an appetizer for a baby shower! Which is perfect, because this happens to be a virtual baby shower!
My sweet friend, Jenna of A Savory Feast recently welcomed a baby boy into her family, so today a few blog friends and I are throwing her a virtual baby shower!
I so wish we all lived closer so we could celebrate her little boy in person, but instead, we rounded up some of her blogger friends to celebrate online!
We included a few of Jenna's own recipes (without her knowing!) so be sure to give her posts some love!

Ooooh, I'm definitely making these soon -- my 1.5 year old is on a total sriracha kick! He loves spicy food and animatedly points to his plate and demands "more chacha, mama! more chacha!" I know what we're making for dinner next week!

That's so awesome that your kiddo loves Sriracha! Did you just give him spicy food from the beginning? I'd love to introduce it to my 15 month old!
Erin @ The Speckled Palate says
Honey and sriracha in MEATBALLS? Mmm. Yes, please! I can see these being a hit at a football watching party, too... and we might have to make these in time for tomorrow.
Madison Wetherill says
Yes, girl. Such a good combo! Does Ameems like spicy food? I want Grey to learn to like it!
Erin @ The Speckled Palate says
Lady A is *all* about the spice in life. She can eat more of it than I can, and Winston laughs about it all the time because OF COURSE our child is a spice lover. She also eats mushrooms and bananas and all the things her mama can't/won't. π

Y'all are the best! This was such a happy surprise to see this morning. Thank you so much for throwing this little virtual baby shower! I feel so loved π
