  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 19 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 8 small flour or corn tortillas
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
– Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

Making Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Chicken Tacos is simple and rewarding when you follow these steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

6. Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Allow it to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, coating the chicken with the sauce.

7. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks.

8. Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or over an open flame, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

9. Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous portion of the shredded chicken onto each tortilla.

10. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro, and if desired, add lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.

11. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Chicken Tacos immediately.
