Mo's Garlic Chili Chicken Bites
Every piece is coated in chili oil and a powerful garlic-chili spice mix, creating a bold flavor experience with every bite. This recipe requires minimal prep, making it perfect for a weeknight snack or easy appetizer that still brings big taste.
Ingredients
- Chili oil
- Garlic powder
- Chili powder
- Salt
- Skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, lightly coat the chicken cubes with chili oil, ensuring each piece is evenly covered. In a separate bowl, combine the garlic powder, chili powder, and salt, mixing well to create a seasoned spice blend.
- Toss the chicken pieces in the spice blend, coating them thoroughly. Arrange the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to allow even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the chicken is browned, fully cooked through, and the juices run clear. For accuracy, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest pieces should register 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the oven and allow a brief cooling period before serving.
