Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • 6 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, honey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and chili powder (if using).
  2. Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken and ensure each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium high heat, around 350°F (175°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6 8 minutes per side or until cooked through. Brush with additional sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor.
  4. While the chicken is grilling, toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or two per side.
  5. Serve the BBQ smokehouse chicken on toasted buns, piled high and drizzled with more sauce if desired.
