Honey Sriracha Barbecue Meatballs

These meatballs were a huge hit with my husband. He really enjoyed the homemade sauce that was a little sweet and a little spicy. He paired the meatballs with rice and drizzled some sauce over top. This recipe has plenty of sauce with it, plenty to drizzle over servings of rice.
