Notes
*Ground chicken thigh has higher water content than ground chicken breast. If you use ground turkey/chicken breast, start with 1 tbsp arrowroot flour and 1 tbsp coconut flour (as opposed to 2 tbsp coconut flour) and see if more coconut flour is needed to form round meatball shape.If you use ground beef or veal, you should be able to follow the same flour measurements but this recipe tastes best with chicken or turkey. :)**If you’d like to pre-make these popcorn meatballs, I’d recommend that you finish the entire cooking process, let the meatballs cool down, and then freeze them. Just reheat in the oven at 420 ℉ /216 ℃ for 10 minutes total (flip them after 5 minutes for even baking).
