These Keto Chicken Meatballs made Thai style with Low-Carb Dipping Sauce are very easy to make and are a great meal, snack, or finger food.
The keto chicken meatballs are best served hot but have been enjoyed cold, added to a salad with equally delicious results.
If you have chosen to mix the meatballs with your hands (without gloves) be sure to wash them thoroughly afterward as the chili can irritate sensitive skin and will burn horribly if you accidentally rub your eyes.

Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. My partner and I were reminded of a beautiful summer evening in Bali eating Thai fish cakes – these reminded us of those so much! The dipping sauce is a must! We added lime juice.
Thanks for a fantastic recipe 🙂
Thank you for your kind words, Bec! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Fabulous. We all loved them and will keep the ingredients on hand to make these when the mood strikes. There are not enough good keto Thai dishes out there. Thank you!
I made this tonight and both my hb and I loved it! It’s really savory and I plan on making it regularly. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to make the mayo but it was moist enough. A great recipe, thank you!
So essentially 1 serving is 2 meatballs correct?
Hi MKelly,
Two and a half large meatballs and a portion of the dipping sauce is 1 serving.
