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.

Honey Garlic Chicken Bites Recipe
Honey Garlic Chicken Bites – panko-crusted baked chicken nuggets with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. So sticky sweet and good.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless and skinless chicken breasts, pat dry and cut into cubes
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko or breadcrumbs
- white sesame seeds, for garnishing
- chopped scallions or chives, for garnishing
Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Coat each piece of the chicken with the beaten eggs first, then roll in the panko. Repeat to nicely coat the chicken. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken turn golden brown. You might turn the chicken pieces over to bake the other side.

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)

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.

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
