Creating Firecracker Chicken Bites is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and Panko breadcrumbs.
3. Bread the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally coat it with Panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
5. Fry the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked.
6. Prepare the Firecracker Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is well blended and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Coat the Chicken: Once the chicken bites are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the firecracker sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
8. Serve Immediately: Arrange the coated chicken bites on a serving platter.
