Directions

For the marinade

Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken and toss well to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 6-7 hours.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place the chicken in a single layer. Bake the chicken for 12-15 minutes or until you reach an internal temperature of 165ºF, turning the chicken halfway through the cooking time.

Dipping Sauce

While the chicken cooks, make the dipping sauce.
In a bowl, combine all of the dipping sauce ingredients.
Serve with the hot chicken.

Recipe Note

This recipe can easily become kabobs and placed on a hot grill. Be certain to shake off any excess marinade before grilling to prevent flare ups.

Make this vegetarian or vegan by substituting chicken with cubes of Extra Firm tofu or tempeh and dairy free yogurt.

Bites can become appetizers by serving on a platter with frilly picks and dipping sauce on the side or in little shot cups.
