Honey Garlic Barbecue Chicken. Using a lower fat oven baked method, plus a seasoning secret you\u2019ll love, to make an easy but utterly delicious chicken dinner.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Honey Garlic Barbecue Chicken<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It may be the first days of Spring but it\u2019s still very much winter here in Newfoundland. We have had some melt off from the massive snow storms we had this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still there are still several feet of snow on the ground in many places, including my back patio. Dreams of summer barbecues are still only a glittering, far away hope.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Liberally\"Liberally<\/p>\n

Liberally season with Smokin\u2019 Summer Spice Dry Rub.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Dredge\"Dredge<\/p>\n

Fold the pieces in half and dredge the seasoned chicken pieces in plain flour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Still, I persist in developing recipes to bridge that gap of time from winter to spring. I just need something every now and then to help me remember the taste of summer barbecues.<\/span><\/p>\n

The age old question, what to do with this chicken?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I had defrosted some boneless skinless chicken thighs last week and was wondering what to do with them. (You can use boneless skinless breasts as well. See the recipe notes below.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Completely\"Completely<\/p>\n

Completely cover the seasoned chicken pieces in flour on both sides<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Lightly\"Lightly<\/p>\n

Lightly brush a baking sheet with canola oil<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At first I thought I\u2019d just sprinkle on some of my own Smokin\u2019 Summer Spice Dry Rub<\/span> and cook them on my cast iron grill pan. Simple but delicious, and something I often do.
<\/span><\/p>\n

I had been craving some Honey Barbecue Wings<\/strong><\/a><\/span> Or Honey Garlic Wings<\/strong><\/a><\/span> over the last couple of weeks though. Maybe, I thought, I could do something with those thighs to quell the cravings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trouble was , I wanted something garlicky but I wanted something honey BBQ as well. So, as I often do, I combined all of those ideas into one recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n

I came up with the idea of chicken with barbecue flavours inside and out. They would then be dredged in flour before being quickly baked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The flour dredge was meant to help seal the chicken pieces and keep them moist inside. It also functions as a good surface for sauce to stick to, something like Lemon Chicken Piccata<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Honey\"Honey<\/p>\n

Honey Garlic Barbecue Chicken<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Honey Garlic Barbecue Chicken begins with a great seasoning mix.<\/span><\/h4>\n

The seasoning for the chicken pieces was once again my own incredibly versatile Smokin\u2019 Summer Spice Dry Rub<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. It\u2019s something we never run out of around here because we use it on EVERYTHING!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Smokin'\"Smokin'<\/p>\n

Sedimentary spices! All of the tasty components of our Smokin\u2019 Summer Spice Dry Rub.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

From chicken, burgers, chops, steaks, and even blackened cod, this seasoning mix has become an indispensable ingredient in our kitchen. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just yesterday, I noticed we were running low on it as I neared the bottom of one of the large 16 ounce size shakers we store it in. I was beginning a spice inventory to make a whole new double batch, when Spouse pulled a full container from the back of the pantry cupboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Honey\"Honey<\/p>\n

This recipe also makes fantastic chicken burgers!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We go through it so fast, I am never sure how much is in the house, but truthfully we never run out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So before dredging and baking the chicken pieces, they were liberally seasoned on both sides with that very same rub. <\/span><\/p>\n

The thighs were then folded in half so that some of the seasoning was now at the centre of the meat as well as on the outside. That\u2019s plenty of flavour inside and out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Turn\"Turn<\/p>\n

Turn the chicken pieces after about 20 minutes in the oven<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"The\"The<\/p>\n

The chicken pieces will be nicely browned and fully cooked before dipping in the sauce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A great sauce is the finishing touch for this Honey Garlic Barbecue Chicken.<\/span><\/h5>\n

The cooked thighs then get a quick dip in the combination Honey Garlic\/Honey BBQ sauce and served. It really was an outstandingly delicious chicken dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can, of course, use your own favourite BBQ Sauce in the recipe, but we have quite a number of homemade sauces too, here on Rock Recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a little extra time, try making Coca Cola BBQ Sauce<\/strong><\/a><\/span> or one of my favourites, and the one I used here, Brown Sugar and Balsamic BBQ Sauce<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is terrific served with a salad, some of our Baked Wedge Fries<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, or even plain steamed rice. Be sure to make extra sauce if serving with rice though. You\u2019re going to want plenty to pour over it.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have some great side dish inspiration too, including everything from baked beans & corn bread to deliciously different potato and pasta salads. Be sure to check them all out in our collection of 35 Best BBQ Side Dishes<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"26\"26<\/a><\/p>\n

One last idea.<\/span><\/h5>\n

This is also a terrific recipe to make as incredibly tasty chicken burgers. We actually made them with the leftovers!<\/span><\/p>\n

We simply reheated the chicken and sauce separately. Then, we dunked the chicken in the sauce and served on toasted burger buns with lettuce and tomato. <\/span><\/p>\n

I think next time this is the way I will serve them again.<\/span><\/p>\n
