Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Oil for frying or baking
  • For the garlic aioli:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 1 tsp Dijon mustard, pinch of black pepper, chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for Panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. For frying: heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  4. For baking: place coated chicken on a greased baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. To make garlic aioli: mix mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and optional Dijon mustard. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  6. Serve hot chicken bites with garlic aioli on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Add cayenne or red pepper flakes to breadcrumb mix for heat.
  • Toss bites in marinara or buffalo sauce for variation.
  • Use ranch, blue cheese dip, or honey mustard instead of aioli.
  • Make sliders or wraps with bites for a meal option.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
