Description
Baked Sweet Chili Chicken Bites are an exceptional dish that delivers both flavor and simplicity right to your table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar (adds tangy depth)
- 1/2 cup honey (for that touch of sweetness)
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch (helps thicken the sauce)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper (for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (for extra spice)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
- Sesame seeds or green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the warm water, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, minced garlic, crushed red pepper, Sriracha, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Place chicken pieces in a casserole dish and coat generously with the sweet chili sauce.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), then broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispy finish.
Notes
Marinating the chicken in the sweet chili sauce for 1-2 hours before cooking can greatly enhance the flavor.
