  • Author: Yara Collins
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– ⅓ cup honey
– ½ cup BBQ sauce
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– 8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Diced tomatoes, avocado, or any preferred toppings


Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Chicken Tacos is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken. Cut it into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Swirl it around the pan until melted and sizzling.
3. Add Garlic: Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.
4. Mix Sauces: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Cook the Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
6. Add Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet, mixing well to coat each piece. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
7. Warm Tortillas: While the chicken finishes cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. This step is crucial for making your tacos pliable.
8. Assemble Tacos: Grab your warm tortillas and fill each one with the glazed chicken mixture.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, avocado, or any other toppings of your choice.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Chicken Tacos while hot for the best experience.
