Chicken bites in barbeque sauce

Really there is so much you can do with the lovely chicken. Serve in the main course, breakfast, dinner or even as a starter. Loved by all its a healthy dish as one gets the proteins from it. Having the same routine recipes kind of starts getting boring so here is a quick and easy starter with a twist as it's really very easy but very tasty and a lip smacking dish. Select a good variety of boneless chicken which has a pinkish colour as the pink colour indicates that the chicken is fresh and lovely to taste.

Here we need to marinate the chicken for 3-4 hours which allows the flavours to be penetrated into the awesome chicken . Now coming to the recipe:

Ingredients -

Boneless Chicken - 350 gms cut into squares
Garlic - 1 1/2 tblspn chopped
Barbeque Sauce - 5-6 tblspn
Olive oil - 2 tblspn (for marination)+ 2 tblspn(for the sauce)
Hot Chilly Sauce - 3 tblspn
honey - 1 tspn
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste

Garnish-
Shredded lettuce and tomato skin rose flower.

5. Add to it the honey.
6. Put half the garlic finely chopped.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. Mix well.

Tip - To make the tomato rose, lengthwise peel the skin of a tight tomato without letting it break. Roll the skin firmly to get the shape of the rose.
