Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken nibbles (drumettes or wingettes)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Yellow curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until you have a smooth, well-incorporated marinade.
Add the chicken nibbles to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. For best results, marinate for 2–4 hours or overnight.
Once marinated, arrange the chicken nibbles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that there is some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip each piece over to ensure both sides brown evenly. Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is golden, slightly caramelized, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F).
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro (optional) and serve hot. These nibbles pair wonderfully with a side of rice, a simple green salad, or dipping sauces like aioli or sweet chili sauce.
