Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Crispy Coating

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

For the Hot Honey Drizzle

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes

Topping

  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking crispy chicken bites.
  2. Prepare Coating: In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs or panko, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  3. Season Chicken: Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with salt and black pepper, then drizzle and toss them with olive oil to help the coating adhere.
  4. Coat Chicken: Toss the seasoned chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture until each piece is evenly coated with the crispy mixture.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken bites on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, cooked through, and crispy on the outside.
  7. Prepare Hot Honey Drizzle: In a small bowl, mix honey with chili flakes to create the sweet and spicy hot honey drizzle.
  8. Drizzle and Top: Once the chicken bites are baked, drizzle the hot honey sauce over them, then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top.
  9. Serve: Serve the chicken bites warm immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of crispy texture and flavorful toppings.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the chili flakes from the honey drizzle.
  • Fresh parsley can be substituted with fresh cilantro or basil for a different flavor profile.
  • Ensure chicken pieces are uniformly sized to promote even cooking.
  • This dish can be served as an appetizer or a main dish paired with a salad or veggies.
