Nashville Hot Chicken Bites
These Nashville Hot Chicken Bites are spicy, flavorful, and so easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 lb raw boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- In a small dish, stir together the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, flour, paprika, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder. Place the cut up chicken pieces into a gallon zip-seal plastic bag and add the spice mix. Seal the bag and shake/massage the contents until the chicken pieces are coated with the spices.
- Add the oil to a large sauté pan/walled skillet and bring over med-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces (you don’t want to overcrowd the pan, so depending on the size of your skillet you may want to work in two batches instead of one) and stir to break them up and coat them in the oil. Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes, stirring every couple minutes (you don’t want to stir super frequently because the chicken needs time to brown and get a “crust” on each side). Once the chicken is cooked through and browned on the outside, remove from heat and serve.
