Instructions
Crispy Asian Chicken Bites
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until fully cooked.
- Take chicken out of the oven and toss with the Sweet and Spicy Asian Sauce.
- Top with scallions and sesame seeds for garnish if desired. Serve immediately as an appetizer or with rice to make it a meal.
Sweet and Spicy Asian Sauce
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan.
- Add garlic and saute for one minute.
- Add in honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, sriracha and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, add cornstarch and water to a small bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to simmer until it is nice and thick. Keep the sauce on low heat until ready to toss with chicken.
