Warrens Chicken Bites Recipes

CHICKEN MEATLOAF BITES

Steps:

• Sweat the celery and onions in the oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat until well glazed, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix the cooled vegetables, chicken, breadcrumbs, heavy cream, soy sauce, steak sauce, salt and eggs together well, until the mixture is uniform. Place into two parchment-lined and greased 9- by 4-inch loaf pans. Bake until the loaves reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Cool, and then portion into 2-ounce bize-size pieces. At Yardbird we make our ketchup from scratch, but you can pick your favorite barbecue sauce, ketchup, Sriracha or any other favorite condiment to serve alongside.

CRISP CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts into small chunks, each about the size of a marble (you should get roughly 15 pieces per breast). Put the pesto in a bowl and mix together with the chicken until coated all over. Tip the breadcrumbs into a large freezer bag.
• Add the chicken pieces in batches to the bag and give it a good shake to coat. Place a piece of greaseproof paper on a baking sheet, then lay the chicken pieces on the sheet, making sure none of them are touching. Put in the freezer and, when frozen solid, take off the baking sheet and store in a container or freezer bag.
• To cook, heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/ gas 7. Pour a little oil onto a shallow baking tray, just enough to cover it. Put the tray in the oven and let it heat up for 5 mins. Tip the chicken onto the sheet and return to the oven for 10-15 mins until crisp and cooked through.
