Air Fryer Goat Cheese Balls with Spicy Honey

1. Divide some goat cheese into approximately 2-inch balls (about 1 oz each) and place them in the freezer for 20 minutes.
2. In one bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, and salt to taste.
3. In another bowl, combine 2 eggs with 1/4 cup of hot sauce to create an egg wash.
4. In a third bowl, add about 2 cups of panko bread crumbs.
5. Coat each goat cheese ball first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it thoroughly with the panko bread crumbs.
6. For a double dredge, dip the coated cheese balls back into the egg wash and then once more into the panko bread crumbs.
7. Place the coated cheese balls back in the freezer for another 10 minutes to firm up.
8. Arrange the goat cheese balls in the basket of an air fryer and spray them lightly with cooking oil.
9. Air fry the goat cheese balls at 370 degrees F (185°C) for 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
10. While the cheese balls are frying, prepare the spicy honey by combining 1/4 cup of honey, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
11. Once the goat cheese balls are done, drizzle the spicy honey over them and garnish with fresh chopped chives before serving.
