Description
Crispy oven-baked chicken bites made with a double coating for maximum crunch and tender texture.
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
Salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
Cooking spray
Instructions
1. Cut the chicken into small, bite-size pieces and season lightly with salt. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.
4. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, dip it into the milk mixture, then return it to the flour mixture for a second coating.
5. Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray and arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer.
6. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken pieces with cooking spray.
7. Bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying again to help them crisp.
8. Remove from the oven when golden and cooked through.
Notes
Chill chicken before coating to help the breading stick. Avoid overcrowding for maximum crispiness.
