1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush a baking sheet with ½ tablespoon of the olive oil.

2. In a large bowl, combine the beaten egg, bread crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Let stand for 5 minutes so the crumbs soften.

3. Add the ground chicken to the bowl and mix gently with your hands just until combined. Roll into evenly sized meatballs and place them on the oiled baking sheet.

4. Brush the meatballs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. While the meatballs bake, combine the BBQ sauce, honey and fresh lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Transfer the hot meatballs to a bowl, pour the sauce over them and toss to coat.

7. Keep the ranch dressing chilled and serve it alongside the meatballs for dipping.
