Skip heading to that famous fast food place and make chicken bites at home. This wonderful chicken recipe is a cost-effective way to feed your family. Marinating the chicken in milk and eggs makes the chicken breasts tender and juicy. The batter is very light and has a fantastic flavor. Once fried, they're so tasty dipped in the homemade honey mustard sauce. Tangy and slightly sweet, the sauce contrasts the savory chicken. We couldn't stop munching on these delicious chicken bites... so be sure to make plenty!

How To Make chicken bites with honey mustard
-
Step 1In a bowl, mix milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Add chicken pieces and cover. Marinate for at least 4 hours, but better if overnight.
-
Step 2In another bowl, mix flour, powdered sugar, 4 teaspoons salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper.
-
Step 3Add some chicken pieces to a large Ziploc bag, add some flour mixture, and shake to coat.
-
Step 4Fry in batches in 375 degrees deep fryer or large Dutch oven.

Step 5It only takes 3 or 4 minutes.
-
Step 6Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.

Step 7For the honey mustard sauce, mix the mayo, mustard, garlic powder, vinegar, honey, and paprika in a small bowl. Cover and put in the fridge. I usually make this the night I marinate the chicken so it has a chance to blend together.
