Sticky Garlic Chicken Bites

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup Panko*
For the sauce
• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Method

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, dip chicken into eggs, then dredge in Panko, pressing to coat.
• Add chicken to prepared baking dish. Place into oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, hoisin sauce, ginger and Sriracha until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken and gently toss to combine.
• Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
