Chicken breasts – I like to pound the boneless skinless chicken breasts a little before I grill them so it cooks evenly. Vegetable oil – Add this to the pan to saute the garlic and sauce ingredients. Garlic – Cooking the garlic in the vegetable oil will leave the inside of the pan with even more flavoring when making the honey bbq sauce. Ketchup – Most homemade bbq sauces start with ketchup as one of the main ingredients. This is the base, the coloring, as well as the tomato flavoring. It is an easy condiment to pour into the sauce. Apple cider vinegar – A bit sour but helps with the other liquid ingredients and combines them all together. Brown sugar – Everyone loves brown sugar and the sweetness it gives! Honey – We always like getting fresh, local honey. There are so many great health benefits to buying local honey. Plus, local honey just tastes better than store-bought. You just can’t beat it! Worcestershire sauce – Hard to pronounce but does leave the best flavors in sauces. It has main flavors that combine together adding so much flavor to the bbq sauce. Yellow mustard – Mustard blends very well with honey and gives that tangy and sweet taste to the sauce. Soy sauce – Salty and slightly bitter taste that balances out the ingredients giving the sauce more liquid to help it baste easier. Chili powder – Added in for a little bit of heat!

How To Make Honey BBQ Chicken

Making the honey bbq chicken is a simple process of preparing your chicken, then making the honey barbecue mixture to baste over top the chicken while it is grilling. Use a thermometer to check on the chicken before taking it off the grill. This will leave a tender and juicy chicken every time!

Cooked to Perfection

Being a perfectionist when it comes to grilled chicken is a MUST. Chicken can easily be underdone or become overdone with grilling if done improperly. Don’t cut into the chicken to check for doneness. That will ruin your chicken and the juices will burn into the grill rather than keep the chicken moist and juicy when it reaches the internal temperature. Using a digital-read thermometer will help bake the best chicken on the grill or in the oven.
