Instructions
Creating Baked Honey BBQ Chicken Bites is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Add BBQ Sauce: Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the chicken and mix until all pieces are well coated.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the chicken bites out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, you can flip the chicken bites for even cooking.
6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Optional Broil: For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
8. Remove and Cool: Once done, remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
