- In a large bowl, use your hands to combine the ground chicken, mozzarella, pork rinds, onion, egg, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of the meatball mixture into your hands and roll it into a 1- 1/2-inch ball. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining meatball mixture.
- In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
- Working in batches to keep from overcrowding the skillet, place the meatballs in the pan, spacing them about 2 inches from one another. Fry until browned all over and cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the meatballs to a paper towel–lined plate.
- When you’ve cooked all the meatballs, turn off the heat and drain the remaining oil from the skillet.
- Return the meatballs to the pan and add the Noble Made Barbecue Sauce and toss to coat.
- Serve with the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro sprinkled on top.
