For the Bonfire Chicken Bites

Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.

Set Up the Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Bread the Chicken
Take each piece of chicken, dip it into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally, coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is fully coated.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken bites in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Toss in Bonfire Sauce
