Greek chicken meatballs can be delicious AND quick and easy when you make them in your air fryer. Just mix together all the ingredients, shape quickly into bite-sized meatballs and air fry for around 10 minutes. They're incredible served with a Greek salad, tzatziki and toasted bread, but you can serve them in many other ways as well.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Preheat the air fryer or oven to 400F/205C.
Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small bite-sized meatballs and place on the baking paper.
Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes until starting to go golden brown (basket-style air fryers tend to cook faster than oven-style air fryers). Cook in 2 batches if necessary. Turn or shake lightly half way through cooking. If baking, bake for around 20 minutes, until lightly golden and cooked through. Turn half way through cooking.
Serve with a Greek salad, tzatziki and bread, sweet potato wedges and vegetables, or turn into Greek wraps or tacos.

Notes
How to mix: I find the mixture is soft enough to mix easily with a wooden spoon, especially when using chicken or turkey mince. Use bare hands if you prefer!What size to make the meatballs: I pinch a tiny bit of mixture (about a large teaspoon), roughly form a ball and place on the baking tray. It's really quick and easy!Different air fryers: If you have a basket style air fryer, you might need to cook the meatballs in 2 batches. Cook them directly in the air fryer basket.If you have a larger oven style air fryer, you can probably cook them on the baking tray. I find that my oven style air fryer takes a little longer to cook than a smaller basket-style air fryer. I usually air fry my meatballs for 11 to 12 minutes.The meatballs might only take 8 minutes to cook in a basket style air fryer. Keep an eye on them. They're ready when they're going golden brown, are starting to caramelize and are 165F/75C inside.
