Delightful chicken bites marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce, baked to perfection for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • ½ cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Create the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken pieces to the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Arrange the Chicken: Spread the marinated chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for juicy, safe-to-eat chicken.
  6. Cool & Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Perfect as an appetizer or served over rice for a more filling meal.

Notes

For deeper flavor, let your chicken marinate for the full 2 hours if possible. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken reaches 165°F for safe eating.
