Delicious Honey Garlic BBQ Chicken Recipe

This Honey Garlic BBQ Chicken features tender chicken pieces coated in a flavorful marinade made of honey, garlic, and soy sauce. Grilling or baking enhances the sweetness and gives it a beautiful golden glaze. The recipe takes about 45 minutes and serves 4.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Serve: Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
