Description

Juicy, mouthwatering bites of chicken coated in a sticky honey BBQ glaze, perfect for parties or cozy family nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pure honey
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In one bowl, mix the flour with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
  4. In another bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.
  5. Dip each chicken piece into the egg wash, then coat it with the seasoned flour.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. While the chicken is baking, combine honey, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat.
  8. Once the chicken is done, toss it in the honey BBQ sauce in a large bowl.

Notes

For healthier alternatives, consider using low-sugar BBQ sauce or whole wheat flour. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
