Crispy Chicken Bites.
If you like, you can easily add some hot sauce to the coating, but this is completely optional. You could also replace it with your favorite BBQ sauce, or just heat up the hot sauce and use it as a dipping sauce instead, or leave it out completely and enjoy the chicken bites without any extra heat. However you make them, they’re bound to be a hit with kids and adults alike.
