A juicy, saucy BBQ chicken dish with sweet-smoky flavor, ready in 40 minutes using pantry staples and halal-friendly ingredients. Perfect for weeknights or casual meals.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup halal barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil.
Pat chicken dry and brush with oil. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a bowl, mix barbecue sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until glossy.
Place chicken in the baking dish in a single layer.
Brush half the sauce mixture over the chicken.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove dish and brush remaining sauce over the chicken.
Bake for 10 minutes more, until fully cooked (internal temperature ≥165°F/74°C).
Garnish with parsley if desired and serve.
Use a halal-certified barbecue sauce to ensure pork/alcohol-free flavor.
Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving for juicier results.
Optional: Serve with roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables.
