- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Glaze:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
4. Combine and Glaze:
- Return the cooked chicken bites to the skillet, tossing them in the glaze until fully coated. Let them cook in the glaze for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and cling to the chicken.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the glazed chicken bites to a serving dish.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color and added flavor.
6. Enjoy:
- These honey garlic glazed chicken bites are perfect served over rice, with a side of vegetables, or as an appetizer for a party.
