Jump to RecipeHoney garlic chicken bites are a grown-up irresistible dinner everyone will love. Crispy oven baked white meat chicken breast nuggets served with a sweet and tangy sauce!
These baked honey garlic chicken breast nuggets are full of tender white meat chicken served with a bold tangy sauce made from raw honey. A truly family-friendly meal both kids and adults will devour.
This recipe was my hubby’s idea (thanks Brett!) and was unbelievably, mouth-wateringly good. We served these with Crispy Oven Baked Fries and my sour cream coleslaw recipe for a fantastic and filling meal.
The chicken was super tender, perfect dipped in the sauce, and made completely on one sheet pan. We made about 2lbs of chicken, and while there were leftovers… there weren’t many. We took these babies down.
