Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces to create bite-sized 'wings'.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dredge each piece of chicken by coating it first in the flour mixture, then dipping it in the egg wash, and finally coating it with the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs if needed.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the honey BBQ sauce by combining honey, low sodium ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the sauce ingredients together and simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Toss the baked chicken pieces in the honey BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Serve the low sodium honey BBQ boneless wings immediately and enjoy your delicious creation!
