Honey Garlic Chicken Bites - panko-crusted baked chicken nuggets with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. So sticky sweet and good!

Never mind that Super Bowl is over because these addictive and absolutely delicious chicken bites can be made and served any time of the year!
They are so good as appetizer, light snack and even for dinner.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! I agree with one of the comments previously posted, double the sauce as it is delicious. I used chicken thighs and it was so moist. THANK YOU.

Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Just made these and it turned out so well!
I didn’t have any honey or Thai sweet chili sauce on hand so I used maple syrup and chili garlic sauce(only 1/4 tbs) in place of those. I also doubled the sauce (except the garlic, honey(or maple syrup), and cornstarch)
That’s awesome, sounds yummy!
We have made this, but then with coated shrimps. Absolutely amazing! We will keep this recipe for sure!
Awesome.
Hi, I just discovered your site last night by accident and I have seen so many delicious recipes that I want to try that I just don’t know which to try first. Thanks for sharing and happy cooking.
Hi Ann, thanks for finding my site. You can try just about anything. They are all amazing!
This easy to follow recipe is awesome.
I’ve done it twice. 2nd attempt – I added sweet rice wine in lieu of sugar for the sauce.
Great idea. Glad that you like these honey garlic chicken bites.
These are way too sweet for us. I whipped them up for some tv binge watching last night and 2T of honey was just about right. I also toasted the sesame seeds before using them for garnish. To be honest, the chicken tidbits were wonderful as presented, but I’ll probably just grab the Thai sweet chili sauce for dipping next time
Hi Janet, sorry that you think it’s too sweet. Thanks for the honest feedback.
These look incredible! yum!!
Hi Sara, thanks for your comment. Yes these honey garlic chicken bites are super addictive and good!
Made it and amazing! Everyone enjoyed. Will make again and again. Thank you!
