1/2 cup pure honey
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix honey and BBQ sauce until smooth.
Coat the seasoned chicken with half of the sauce mixture using tongs or your hands.
Place the coated chicken in a baking dish in a single layer and pour the remaining sauce over it.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For caramelization, switch to broil mode in the last five minutes of baking.
Let rest before serving.
