Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (optional, for a spicy kick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare chicken: In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg. In another dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
- Bake: Arrange the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the sauce: While the chicken is baking, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and Sriracha (if using) in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Combine: Remove the cooked chicken from the oven. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For extra crispy chicken, double-dip the chicken pieces in the egg and breadcrumbs.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your desired level of spiciness.
- Serve with steamed rice or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
