Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika smoked paprika works beautifully
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup high-quality BBQ sauce divided
  • 2 tablespoons honey optional, for extra sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar adds tanginess
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking dish with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better and promotes browning.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each breast.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in your prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each piece.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  7. While the chicken is baking, prepare your BBQ sauce mixture by combining ¾ cup of BBQ sauce with honey and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
  8. After 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and brush each breast generously with the BBQ sauce mixture.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce has started to caramelize.
  10. For a more glazed finish, brush with the remaining BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  12. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side.
