Notes

  • Try to use chicken breasts that are close in size so that they bake evenly.
  • You can also substitute it with canola oil, olive oil, or grapeseed oil. 
  • You can also use regular paprika, but smoked paprika adds a lot more flavor. 
  • Substitute with ground black pepper if needed.
  • For a healthier dinner, choose a low-sugar or sugar-free BBQ sauce.
