### Why Chicken Bites?

Chicken bites are universally loved because they combine juicy, tender chicken with a crispy coating and flavor-packed seasoning. They’re a perfect size for sharing, great for dipping, and easy to customize.

## Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

### Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Begin by cutting the chicken into uniform, bite-sized pieces. Uniformity ensures even cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels to help the coating stick better.

### Step 2: Set up a Breading Station

You’ll need three bowls:

* **Flour bowl:** Mix the flour, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano.
* **Egg wash:** Beat the eggs until smooth.
* **Breadcrumb mix:** Combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), and half the parsley.

### Step 3: Coat the Chicken

Working in batches, dredge each chicken piece first in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat generously with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Press the coating lightly to ensure it adheres well.

### Step 4: Fry to Golden Perfection

Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the chicken bites in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

## Optional Baking Method for a Healthier Version

For a lighter alternative, you can bake these chicken bites instead of frying. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the coated chicken bites on the sheet, spray lightly with cooking spray, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

## The Garlic Parmesan Sauce That Takes It Over the Top

While the chicken bites are delicious on their own, tossing them in a quick garlic parmesan sauce elevates the dish to a whole new level of crave-worthiness.

### Ingredients for the Sauce:

* 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* Salt and pepper to taste
