Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my absolute favorite midnight craving killer – the Crispy Sweet & Spicy Asian Chicken Bites! Trust me, once you try these bad boys, you’ll be sneaking to the kitchen at midnight more often than you’d like to admit (I know I do! 🤫).
Picture this: crispy, bite-sized pieces of chicken glazed in a heavenly combination of honey, sriracha, and a secret ingredient that’ll make your taste buds dance. Yes, honey! I know what you’re thinking – “Girl, honey at midnight?” But hear me out!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 chicken breasts, cubed
– 1 cup cornstarch
– 2 eggs
– 3 tbsp honey
– 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
– 1 tbsp soy sauce
– The secret ingredient: a splash of lime juice (trust your girl on this one!)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Oil for frying
Now, let’s get cooking!
First, season those chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Dip them in beaten eggs, then coat them in cornstarch. Make sure each piece is well-coated – we want that extra crunch!

Heat oil in a pan (medium-high heat, folks). Fry those babies until golden brown – about 3-4 minutes each side. While they’re getting crispy, mix honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and that magical lime juice in a bowl.
Once your chicken is done, drain on paper towels, then toss in the sauce mixture. And voilà! You’ve got yourself a midnight snack that’s worth staying up for!
Pro tip: Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top if you’re feeling fancy (or if you’re trying to impress that special someone who’s also up late 😉).
Y’all, I can’t tell you how many times this recipe has saved me from those late-night hunger pangs. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s absolutely addictive. Plus, it’s way better than reaching for those boring old chips!
