Rewrite as
$$
x^{sin x}=e^{sin xlog x}=e^{frac{sin x}{x}(xlog x)}
$$
and using $sin x/xto 1$ and $xlog xto 0$, the limit is $e^0=1$.

Hint: Use the expansion for $sin x$.
$$sin x = x-frac{x^3}{3!}+frac{x^5}{5!}-…$$
Apply this to
$$x^{sin x}$$
and let $x to 0^+$. Also, note that
$$lim_{ x to 0^+} x^x = 1$$
