Notes
- any flour of choice can be used.
- serving size is 1/4 of the chicken bites
- honey 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.
- store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
- great for meal prepping.
