Best 4 Hot Spicy Chicken Bites Recipes

SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• Add oil to skillet. Heat on medium high. Once oil is hot, add your chicken pieces. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes uncovered, flipping occasionally. Chicken should have some browning on the outside and will be close to cooked through when done.
• Meanwhile, stir together coconut aminos, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Taste. If it's not hot enough for your liking add one extra teaspoon of sriracha (I always do!).
• Pour sauce into skillet with chicken. (Sauce will be thin at this point.) Let it all simmer (sauce will get bubbly) on medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened and chicken is completely cooked through.
