These little chicken bites make the perfect easy dinner or simple chicken appetizer! I love them on top of a salad or with a side of veggies. To serve as an appetizer, skewer each chicken bite with a toothpick to turn them into finger food!
You Will Need
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast or thighs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Hot sauce, optional
Directions
1Cut the chicken into 1-inch chunks.
2Combine the melted butter, honey, orange peel, salt, pepper, and 2 or more dashes of hot sauce (optional) in a medium bowl.
3Add the chicken and toss well. Set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
4Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
5Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet. Drizzle any marinade left in the bowl over the chicken. Bake until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F, 15 to 20 minutes.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Butter: I love the flavor of butter in this dish. If you plan to marinate your chicken in the fridge, the butter will harden again. This is fine and it will melt as you bake the chicken in the oven later. If you’d prefer a substitute, use olive oil.
