Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces Use fresh or fully thawed chicken; boneless, skinless thighs can be used for richer flavor.
  • ½ cup honey For a less-sweet version, reduce honey to 1/4 cup.
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce Choose a halal-certified brand or one you trust.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Low-sodium optional.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Brush for a precise finish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, mix together honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Toss the chicken pieces in the sauce mixture until well coated.
  • Arrange the chicken on a lined baking sheet, spacing pieces evenly.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the chicken.

Baking

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).
  • For a deeper caramelized finish, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end while watching closely.

Serving

  • Serve warm with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
