Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

Coating

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (205°C) to prepare for baking the chicken bites after frying.
  2. Mix coating: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the seasoned flour mixture for coating.
  3. Coat chicken: Thoroughly coat the cubed chicken breasts in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered for maximum crispiness.
  4. Fry chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the coated chicken pieces until they turn golden brown on all sides, ensuring the chicken is cooked through but not overdone at this stage.
  5. Bake chicken: Transfer the fried chicken pieces to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking through and keep the bites crispy.
  6. Melt butter: While the chicken bakes, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  7. Prepare sauce: Add honey and soy sauce to the melted butter, then stir well to combine into a smooth, flavorful glaze.
  8. Glaze chicken: Drizzle the honey butter sauce evenly over the baked chicken bites to coat them with a sweet and savory flavor.
  9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the glazed chicken bites for color and freshness before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier bite.
  • Use a deep skillet with enough oil to shallow fry the chicken evenly.
  • Make sure the oil is hot before frying to achieve a crispy coating.
  • For a spicier variation, add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the flour mix.
  • Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
  • This recipe is best served immediately to maintain crispiness.
