Bold Honey BBQ Chicken in One Pan Surprise

One Pan Bold Honey BBQ Chicken made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, and season the chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, to the skillet and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, combine honey, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, chicken broth, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
  5. Pour the sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the chicken with additional sauce from the skillet, alongside your favorite sides.
