Delicious garlic butter honey bbq tacos recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, your favorite brand
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Butter, unsalted
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 8 Small flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil and smoked paprika. Toss well to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Step 3: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the BBQ sauce and honey. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken.

  6. Step 6: Fill each tortilla with the garlic butter honey BBQ chicken. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftover chicken filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the chicken filling in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying.
  • Garnish your tacos with a sprinkle of cilantro and a drizzle of lime juice for extra freshness.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning and prevent steaming.
