Notes

For variation in taste, experiment with different seasonings like lemon pepper, cajun seasoning, all purpose seasoning, etc.

After cooking, rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving.

Chicken bites can be tossed in any sauce of your choice. Some good ones that enhance the taste are garlic butter, bang bang sauce, and lemon butter sauce.
