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.

    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!

    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.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      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

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Janet, sorry that you think it’s too sweet. Thanks for the honest feedback.
