Tantalizing Thai Treats, our Keto Thai Chicken Meatballs with Low-Carb Dipping Sauce 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.
Keto Thai chicken meatballs can be kept up to 1 week in the fridge or frozen for up to 3 months.
This Thai meatballs recipe makes 8 serves.
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.

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.

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!
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!
