The most perfect sweet and spicy bbq sauce around! Honey Chipotle BBQ Chicken has such a flavorful kick, everyone will be loving this recipe!
Its summertime around here, kids are on break, I’m 6 months pregnant, and well its officially grilling season!! I love to grill outside it saves me the mess inside however I am also super obsessed with my indoor grill pan! Honey Chipotle BBQ Chicken requires no marinating time so this dish can be ready to eat rather quickly!
If you choose to use an indoor grill pan keep the vent on and window open, cooking with chipotle often leaves the air around you rather spicy! This bbq sauce is honestly my absolute favorite, the sweet and spicy combo is finger-licking good! My kids love this chicken, and surprisingly don’t complain about the spice it has, haha!
Is there anything better than grilled chicken slathered in bbq sauce, not when its Honey Chipotle bbq sauce!
We love serving this chicken as a bowl meal, with some white rice, black beans, corn, avocado, fresh lime, extra bbq sauce and ranch drizzle, SOO GOOD! Some other great sides are Easy Macaroni Salad, Greek Orzo Pasta Salad, and Perfect Mashed Potatoes.
