How to make Easy Oven Baked Chicken Bites

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 420 degrees F or 220 degrees C (conventional).

Step 2: Into 1-inch cubes, slice the chicken.

Step 3: Place the seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chicken stock, and Italian seasoning) in a small bowl, Mix well until blended.

Step 4: In a baking dish, arrange the chicken and sprinkle with the seasoning mix and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Toss the chicken until all sides are coated. With butter cubes, patch the seasoned chicken.

Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 16 to 18 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F or 75 degrees C. Stir the chicken bites using a spoon for even baking after about 8 to 10 minutes. Once the chicken bites are done, they should have crisp and golden edges. If you want crispier chicken bites, broil in the last 2 minutes on high.
