Rave BBQ Rubs

🍗 Sticky Korean BBQ Chicken Bites

I’d do bites instead of thighs. They give you something completely different from the beef bowl and burger, and they can be made in the smoker, oven or air fryer. Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 15–30 minutesServes: 4 Chicken 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½-inch pieces2 tbsp avocado oil2 tbsp Rave Korean BBQ RubSticky Korean BBQ Glaze¼ cup Rave Infusion Gluten-Free Soy Sauce (available on our website)3 tbsp honey (Kitako Lake Honey available on our website)1 tbsp rice vinegar1 tbsp Rave Korean BBQ Rub1 tsp cornstarch1 tbsp water Directions Choose Your Cooking Method 🔥 Smoker: Cook at 375°F for approximately 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F. 🍳 Oven: Bake at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway. 🍟 Air Fryer: Cook at 390°F for 10–14 minutes, shaking halfway through. Toss the hot chicken bites in the sticky Korean BBQ glaze.Return to the heat for another 2–3 minutes to set the glaze.Finish with sliced green onions. 🔥 Travis’ Tip Don’t sauce them too early. Get some colour on the chicken first, then add the honey-based glaze at the end so it gets sticky without burning. 🍽️ Perfect Pairings Side: Jasmine rice and roasted broccoliDrink: Ginger ale, sparkling lime water or a crisp lager These also give you three good recipe photos for the QR page: big stacked burger, colourful beef bowl, glossy sticky chicken bites.

Divide rice among bowls and top with beef, cucumber, carrot, cabbage and green onions.Spoon any cooked pan juices over the bowls. 🔥 Travis’ Tip Pop the steak in the freezer for 20–30 minutes before slicing. It’ll firm up just enough to make getting those thin strips much easier. 🍽️ Perfect Pairings Side: Quick cucumber saladDrink: Iced green tea, ginger beer or a light lager
