The Barbecue Sauce for this baked Sticky Chicken recipe is AH-Mazing y’all. This barbecue sauce is a deliciously different homemade honey soy sauce barbecue sticky sauce.
We like to serve it over baked chicken (and call it sticky) with yellow rice and spoon extra sauce on top for the rice to soak in. You’ve got to taste this sauce! It’s like no other.
Today I’m sharing a new version of the best Barbecue Sauce for boneless Chicken Breast with you!
The original recipe requires bone-in, skin-on chicken. The skin was key for all that wonderful sticky sauce to have something to stick to. I’ve since modified the recipe with a little trick that makes it work with boneless skinless chicken breasts because: A. They are everyone’s favorite. They are easier (and often cheaper) to find these days. I always have boneless, skinless chicken in my freezer.
Ingredients you’ll need are:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Honey
- Brown Sugar
- Ketchup
- Soy Sauce
- Garlic Powder
- All Purpose Flour*
*Self rising will do just fine if that is what you have.
- To make the Best Barbecue sauce for chicken, simply place all of the ingredients in a 2 cup measuring cup and stir well.
- Place this in the microwave or a small sauce pot. If using the microwave: Heat for one minute and stir. Repeat in thirty second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and well blended.
- If using a sauce pot: Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until it becomes hot enough to blend together well, with no lumps.
- Pour just a bit of this wonderful sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Spread to coat the bottom of the dish.
- Place flour in a shallow bowl and just press each side of each chicken breast into that so that it is lightly coated.
- Place these in your baking dish.
- Spoon remaining barbecue sauce for chicken over the top.
- Place in 350 degree oven, uncovered.
- After 30 minutes, remove from oven and carefully flip chicken pieces over. Spoon sauce from baking dish over them again and return to oven for another 15-30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
- Baste it once more during this time.
- Remove from oven and baste again (without returning to oven). Allow to sit for five minutes and baste once more before serving.
Excellent served with yellow rice or mashed potatoes so you can spoon some of that delicious sauce over them!
I hope your family and friends love this barbecue sauce for chicken as much as mine does.

I just made this recipe, and it is so good and easy! Finally a new way to cook chicken that my sons will love.
The next time I make it, I’m going to double the ingredients for the sauce, because I like pouring it over the rice, as well as the chicken. Yum!!!
Made this for dinner and wow!! This is delicious. My family enjoyed every bite. Thank you for another amazing recipe!
