Tips and Tricks
- To ensure even browning, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken bites, and give them space to cook without crowding the pan.
- For an alternative method, cook the chicken bites in an air fryer at 375ºF for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. This will give you crispy, tender bites without much oil.
- If you want a thicker glaze, simmer the sauce a little longer until it reaches the desired consistency before adding the chicken bites back into the skillet.
