Ingredients
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- ½ cup honey
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice or Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 to 3 tablespoons Sriracha optional and to taste
- 2 to 4 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- about 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts tenders
- fresh cilantro or parsley optional for garnishing
Instructions
- To a large ziptop plastic bag, add all ingredients except the optional fresh herbs. Seal bag and squish the contents around so chicken is evenly coated.
- Place bag in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is great if you can plan ahead).*
- Preheat an outdoor grill (or grill pan if making inside) to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for about 7 minutes, or until done; flip intermittently to ensure even cooking. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
- Chicken is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Notes
- Tip - If you want extra marinade to use as a dipping sauce for the chicken, add the full amounts to the ziptop bag and then to a small bowl, add half of all the amounts and stir to combine; set aside to serve with the cooked chicken.
