These crispy chicken bites are ready in 30 minutes and are oh, so good.  But, the dipping sauce is best part!  It has quickly become one of my family’s favorite  dinner recipes: quick easy meals.

Bang Bang Chicken - It Is a Keeper

I found a great buy on boneless skinless chicken breast at a local club store so I’ve been searching for easy recipes to make.

I’ve filled our meal plans with all of our favorites – Chicken Spaghetti, Brown Sugar Garlic Glazed Chicken and Grilled Sticky Chicken Skewers.  But the food blogger in me, craves new recipes to make too!

What drew me in to these chicken bites were the crispy, crunchy exterior.  And, the fact that it was ready in 30 minutes.

And, the sauce.  Definitely the sauce!  I can’t forget about that!

The dipping sauce is a creamy Thai chili dipping sauce with a little zip at the end.

To. Die. For.

Bang Bang Chicken - It Is a Keeper

Seriously, I would use this on just about everything — fries, burgers, sandwiches…you get the picture.

If you have little kiddos with limited palates, this is a great recipe.  It’s just like chicken nuggets with a fancy sauce for the adults.

This recipe is definitely a keeper!
