Description

Honey BBQ Chicken Bites are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender chicken breast pieces seasoned with a blend of spices, cooked in a skillet, and coated in a sweet and tangy honey BBQ sauce. Perfect as a quick dinner or party appetizer, these bites offer a delicious balance of smoky, savory, and sweet flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder evenly, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned chicken pieces in the skillet without stirring for 3-4 minutes to allow a nice sear. Then stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F. Remove the skillet from heat.
  3. Make the honey BBQ sauce and coat chicken: Whisk together the BBQ sauce and honey in a bowl until smooth. Pour this sauce over the cooked chicken bites in the skillet and stir well to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with the spices for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165˚F for safe consumption.
  • Pair these chicken bites with rice, salad, or as a sandwich filling.
  • Can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free BBQ sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
