  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Chicken:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked.

2️⃣ Prepare the Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes.

3️⃣ Sauce & Simmer:

  • Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring to coat evenly.
  • Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and caramelizes.

  • Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.

5️⃣ Garnish & Serve:
