If you are looking for a quick dinner that the whole family will love, this hot honey chicken is a winner. The combination of crispy chicken and that sticky spicy glaze is hard to beat on a busy weeknight.

My best tip for success is to make sure your chicken pieces are cut to a similar size so they cook evenly in the oven. You can serve this with a simple side salad or some fluffy rice to soak up that delicious extra sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the cornstarch, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet in a single layer and drizzle with vegetable oil.

  4. 4

    Bake the chicken for 10 minutes or until it is golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    While the chicken bakes, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, and vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.

  6. 6

    Remove the chicken from the oven, toss it in the honey mixture, and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Serve these chicken bites right away while they are still hot and crispy. If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge and reheat them in the oven to maintain the crunch. You can store the sauce separately if you want to keep the chicken crispy for longer.
