Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting the boneless skinless chicken into bite-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, crack and beat the eggs until smooth.
  4. Dip each chicken piece into the eggs, then coat in the flour mixture, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Alternatively, bake the bites at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Warm the BBQ sauce and toss the cooked chicken bites in it until fully coated.
  8. Transfer to a platter and garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving.
