Tips

Don’t stress over making this dish perfectly presentable. If you don’t have the suggested garnishes, it’s still just as delicious eaten as-is, straight out of the bowl.
This recipe for Kung Pao Chicken Bites would also work well if using chicken wings or drumsticks. Marinate as suggested. When it’s time to grill, wings should take about 20 minutes, and drumsticks about 30-35 minutes. Chicken is safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 165 ℉.
These Kung Pao Chicken Bites will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
