Barbeque Chicken

This is the easiest barbeque chicken to make. It's a one-pan dish; you sear it and then bake it in the same pan. By brushing the barbeque sauce on the chicken before it bakes, the sauce doesn't burn and the chicken remains moist. Adding any honey from our Spicy Hot collection (we used Firecracker) to taste levels up this easy recipe by providing a sweet and spicy kick.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4-1 1/2 pounds total)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup Barbeque Sauce, plus more as desired
Bee Charmer's Firecracker Hot Honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Rinse the chicken breasts, pat them dry, and season them with the salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat until it's hot but not yet smoking. Add the chicken and sear it on one side for 3 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and brush each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of the Barbeque Sauce.
  3. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast registers 165°F.
  4. Finish with a generous drizzle of The Bee Charmer's Firecracker Hot Honey. Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Enjoy!
