Crispy baked chicken pieces are coated in a sweet and slightly spicy Honey Sriracha glaze. It’s a tasty weeknight meal that is healthier than the regular fried version.
1lbFoster Farms Simply Raised chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2cupspanko bread crumbs
2extra large eggs, whisked
For the sauce
½ cup honey
6tspsriracha sauce
1tspgarlic powder
2tbsplow sodium soy sauce
1tsponion powder
½ cupwater + 1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 400F.
Pour whisked eggs into a small bowl. Pour panko crumbs into a separate bowl. Dip chicken pieces first in egg and then roll into panko crumbs. Set onto baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Bake chicken for about 18-20 minutes until chicken is cooked and breading turns a golden brown.
While chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce on the stove. Add the first five ingredients into a small pot or saucepan. Bring to a low boil. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch completely in ½ cup water. Slowly pour into sauce and immediately stir with a spoon so that the cornstarch mixture dissolves into sauce. Sauce should begin to thicken when it starts to bubble again. Let sauce continue to bubble at a low boil for about 30 seconds so that it thickens further. Turn off heat.
Toss chicken pieces into sauce until fully coated. (You should have more than enough sauce for 1 lb of chicken.) Garnish with fresh chopped scallions if desired. Serve with rice and vegetables.
