Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Add meatball ingredients (ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp ketchup, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl)
Mix thoroughly and use a scoop or spoon to scoop eighteen 1 tbsp meatballs on to a baking sheet
Bake at 400F for 15 minutes
While the meatballs bake prepare a sauce by combining pineapple juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, rice vinegar, and ketchup in a small bowl
When the meatballs are almost finished cooking add the sauce to a frying pan and heat over medium-high heat until it bubbles
Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 4 minutes
Remove the meatballs from the oven
Prepare a slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce
Increase the heat of the sauce to medium-high and pour the slurry into the pan

To make these gluten free use tamari or coconut aminos in place of soy sauce and use 1/2 cup almond flour in place of the breadcrumbs
