Ingredients

Scale

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
Dip floured chicken in beaten eggs.
Coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
Place bites on the sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil.
Bake 20–25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through.
Toss baked bites with sweet chili sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispness
use fresh breadcrumbs and avoid overcrowding the pan. You can add a pinch of smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mix for a subtle smoky flavor. Leftovers reheat best in a 350°F oven to retain crunch.
