Description
Delightful tender chicken bites coated in a crispy crust and drizzled with a sweet and tangy honey BBQ sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (907g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 5 cups (140g) corn flakes cereal, crushed lightly
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 3/4 cup (222g) your favorite BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup (85g) honey
- 1/4 cup (68g) ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Place the bite-sized pieces of chicken in a large bowl. Add flour and stir to coat each piece. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, combine the corn flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Set it aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off. Then, roll the chicken in the cornflake mixture, checking to ensure you shake off any excess. Place the coated pieces onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 18 minutes, flipping them once about halfway through.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, and ketchup. Cook for about 5 minutes while whisking occasionally.
- Carefully place the chicken bites into a large bowl. Pour the warm honey BBQ sauce over the chicken and gently stir to coat. Serve warm.
Notes
Ensure even coating for maximum crispiness. You can make the chicken bites ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking.
