Honey BBQ Chicken

Honey BBQ Chicken is made with my homemade Honey BBQ sauce and tender boneless skinless chicken thighs. So easy to do on the grill, oven, cast iron skillet...or even the air fryer!

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or butter in a small saucepan on medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until it just begins to brown, careful not to burn it.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to pan and simmer on medium low heat, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Keep warm until ready to use.

for chicken

  1. Rub oil on chicken to fully coat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Place chicken on to hot grill* and sear until golden brown on one side. Flip to brown other side.
  3. Once chicken reaches an internal temperature of about 155° F, brush BBQ Sauce on generously and flip to caramelize on grill. Repeat on other side and cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of about 165° F. Should take less than 20 minutes depending on your grill. Serve warm with extra BBQ Sauce drizzled over top or on the side.

Notes

  • *cooking variations
  • Stovetop: I recommend using a heavy cast iron skillet. Place on medium high heat to get a good sear on meat and follow the rest of above instructions (just like it was a grill). 
  • Oven: You will not get a good sear on the meat, but you can definitely make these in the oven at 400° F, baking for about 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Instead of waiting until the end to add BBQ Sauce, go ahead and do it right from the beginning to the sauce caramelizes as it bakes. 
  • Air Fryer: Preheat Air Fryer to 380° F. Oil and season chicken and place in a single layer in air fryer basket or shelf. Set the cook time for 12 minutes. Flip chicken and air fry for another 6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove, toss in BBQ Sauce and serve.
