Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place frozen chicken pieces on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
In a mixing bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes to prepare the hot honey.
Toast the frozen waffles until golden and slightly crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
Cut each toasted waffle into four equal pieces to form bases for the bites.
Assemble the bites by stacking a waffle piece, a crispy chicken piece, and securing with a toothpick.
Drizzle the hot honey over each bite and garnish with chopped chives.
