Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Low-sugar ketchup
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil spray
Instructions
Begin by preparing the barbecue sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the low-sugar ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
Place the skinless chicken breasts on a clean surface. If they are thick, you may pound them gently to an even thickness for more consistent cooking.
Lightly spray both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil spray.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a gas grill, aim for a temperature of around 375°F (190°C). For charcoal grills, ensure the coals are ashed over.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes on the first side, then flip and grill an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side.
Brush the chicken with the prepared barbecue sauce, making sure to coat it generously. Continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, flipping occasionally and applying more sauce as desired. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for perfectly cooked chicken.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the low-fat classic chicken barbecue with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!
