Description
Mini Chicken & Waffle Bites with Hot Honey are a quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer made with crispy chicken nuggets stacked on mini waffles and drizzled with a sweet and spicy hot honey glaze. Perfect for parties, brunch, or game day snacks.
Ingredients
20 mini frozen waffles
20 small cooked chicken nuggets (homemade or store-bought)
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
Toothpicks or small skewers, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the mini waffles and chicken nuggets according to their package instructions until golden and crispy.
- While they bake, prepare the hot honey by combining honey, hot sauce, and optional chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until warmed through and well blended.
- Top each mini waffle with a chicken nugget.
- Insert a toothpick or small skewer through each stack to hold them together.
- Drizzle the warm hot honey over the assembled bites.
- Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
Use spicy or popcorn chicken for variation.
Homemade mini waffles add a personal touch.
Try maple syrup with cayenne as an alternative to hot honey.
Add pickles or cream cheese for extra flavor layers.
For a vegetarian version, use plant-based nuggets or crispy cauliflower.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
