  • •1 cup barbecue sauce
  • •2 tablespoons olive oil
  • •1 teaspoon salt
  • •½ teaspoon black pepper
  • •1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • •1 teaspoon paprika
  • •2 tablespoons honey

  1. 1Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  2. 2Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
  3. 3Brush grill grates with oil and place chicken on the grill for 6-7 minutes per side until golden.
  4. 4Mix barbecue sauce with honey in a bowl.
  5. 5Brush the sauce generously over the chicken and grill for another 3-4 minutes per side, turning once more.
