I cannot wait to try all the recipes in it, especially the ones with sriracha sauce! Her love for sriracha sauce and Cholula hot sauce mirrors my own, so I’m pretty sure we’d be best friends if we ever met. Because a bond over hot sauce choices can’t be broken.

These Sriracha Oven-Baked Chicken Bites are the perfect healthier chicken nuggets recipe. The chicken nuggets are baked instead of fried, then covered in a simple but oh-so-flavorful sriracha sauce.

These are a bit spicy, but not in a ‘I have to chug milk right now’ kind of way. The flavor elements from soy sauce, lime juice, and my sweet dear sriracha sauce make these chicken bites taste so goods.

I recommend eating these Sriracha Oven-Baked Chicken Bites with a fork as they are, but you can also cut them smaller and serve them over rice for more of a meal! I’d definitely also serve these chicken hunks of deliciousness at pretty much any party. Crowd-Pleaser is this recipe’s middle name.

Next time you’re in the mood for some healthy chicken nuggets, take it up a notch with these Sriracha Oven-Baked Chicken Bites! They’re as easy as coating the chicken, baking, then whipping up a 3-minute sauce to dunk them in.

If you’re feeling crazy, you can also dip the chicken pieces into sriracha sauce before coating them in the Panko breading to add a bit more spice and flavor.
