How to make honey garlic chicken bites

• Season the chicken: Add the chicken to a large Ziploc bag together with flour, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix through the bag to evenly coat all the chicken pieces.
• Cook the chicken: Heat the oil in a large frying pan, over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook on all sides until golden brown, for about 8-10 minutes in total. You may need to cook the chicken in batches, to avoid overcrowding the pan.

• Mix the honey garlic sauce: Meanwhile, in a small jug add the garlic, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and sriracha or hot chili sauce. Mix well to combine.
• Add sauce in with the chicken: Once the chicken is done cooking, pour over the garlic honey, and stir to completely coat; allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes to meld all the flavors.
• Serve and enjoy: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Recipe notes and tips

• Any flour of choice can be used.
• The serving size is 1/4 of the chicken bites
• Goney can be substituted with maple syrup.
• Any other oil will work in place of olive oil. Try grapeseed oil or avocado oil
• Use fresh garlic if possible. Garlic powder will work too but not as flavorful. Use 1 tablespoon in place of the fresh garlic.
• Do not overcook the chicken or they will dry out and get rubbery.

• Great for meal prepping.
