How to Make Sweet Chili Chicken Bites

Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, then toss in beaten eggs and cornstarch until coated.
Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering—about 350°F.
Carefully add chicken pieces in batches, frying 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce heat, sauté minced garlic in the same skillet for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes; simmer for 2 minutes until thickened.
Return the fried chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce for 1–2 minutes.
