Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 2 eggs eggs
- 1½ cups Panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chives chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow plate, crack open the eggs, season them with a little salt and pepper, then beat them well.
- Pour the Panko breadcrumbs into another shallow plate.
- Take each piece of seasoned chicken, dip it first into the egg mixture, then dredge it through the breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is baking, it’s time to prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining sauce ingredients.
- Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat until the mixture begins to boil. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked and crispy, remove it from the oven. Place the cooked chicken pieces in a large mixing bowl, pour the sauce over them, and toss well to ensure each piece is coated.
- Garnish your Sticky Honey Sriracha Chicken Bites with chopped chives and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Panko breadcrumbs: These produce a crispier breading.
- Five spice powder: This is commonly used in Chinese cooking and typically includes a blend of spices.
