Ingredients
•
1 serving cooking spray
•
1/2 cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
•
1/4 cup honey
•
1/4 cup brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
•
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to an even thickness
•
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray.
2
Mix barbeque sauce, honey, brown sugar, and chile-garlic sauce together in a bowl until no clumps of brown sugar remain. Spoon about 1/2 of the sauce into a separate bowl for serving.
3
Arrange chicken breast halves onto the prepared sheet. Brush sauce from one of the bowls onto breasts.
4
Bake chicken breasts in the preheated oven, brushing with sauce every 10 minutes, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5
Season with pepper and serve with the reserved bowl of sauce for dipping.
