How long are left over chicken bites good for?
If you have any left over I will be surprised! But if you do, store then in an airtight container and they will be good for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven for a few minutes at 300 degrees to bring them back to life. Or you can microwave them too, their texture just might be a bit different.
Can I make Honey Glazed Bites in advance?
Yes, you can prep this appetized ahead of time. Although, you will want to wait on making and adding the glaze until you are ready to bake them. But feel free to cut the roll and wrap the chicken bites earlier and have them ready to go closer to when the party or event starts.
