Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and toss with oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread chicken on a lined sheet pan in a single layer. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until just cooked through.
  3. Stir together BBQ sauce and honey. Toss hot chicken with half the sauce mixture.
  4. Return sauced chicken to pan, broil on high 2 to 3 minutes until bubbly and charred in spots.
  5. Toss with remaining sauce and serve hot.

Notes

The chicken bits are best straight from the broiler while sticky and hot. If you want the sauce to set a little deeper, let them rest under foil for 2 minutes before serving.
