Notes
Storing leftovers: once baked, these can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: preheat your oven 350 degrees and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
Make-ahead tips: to freeze unbaked chicken bites, wrap in bacon and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Once you are ready to bake, remove them from the freezer and immediately toss in the brown sugar mixture. Bake as directed, adding about 5-7 minutes to the total cooking time.
