So, the wait is over and you can pretty well start making it immediately! Getting a pair of chicken breast is not challenging at all I believe, but at the same time you can use boneless pieces of chicken thighs as well. Only the cooking time will vary as chicken breasts cook a lot faster than anything else.
Even though I wasn’t too fond of chicken breasts, I still used to make my honey garlic chicken simply because this recipe of honey garlic chicken would not let them turn into dry and tough meat. For bite sized chicken snacks, chicken breasts can work well if you use the right ingredients.

A quick note before signing off for the day – if you face any challenge to get your hands on panko breadcrumbs, you can lookout for online portals.
Panko is a Japanese style breadcrumbs which are significantly lighter in color and significantly crispier in taste than regular breadcrumbs giving the food a super-crispy outer texture with a beautiful golden color. Once you taste panko, you will go crazy for it just like I did and this honey garlic chicken bites turn out best with panko.
But if you cannot source panko in any possible way, go ahead and use regular breadcrumbs because there is no reason to deprive yourself from this incredible honey garlic chicken bites. The wonderful honey garlic sauce will make up for the absence of panko. Enjoy!
