Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup honey

- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9x13 baking dish.
- In a medium bowl or a large measuring cup (I use a 4-cup measuring cup), stir together the ketchup, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, and garlic powder until well combined.½ cup honey, ½ cup ketchup, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- If using the microwave: Heat for one minute and stir. Repeat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and well blended. If using a saucepot: Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until it becomes hot enough to blend together well with no lumps.
- Place enough sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish to be able to spread it around and cover the bottom.
- Place 1 cup of flour in a shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast into flour on both sides and place in the baking dish top side down. Spoon remaining sauce over them, making sure to coat the chicken.1 cup flour, 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Place in the oven, uncovered. After 30 minutes, remove 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, basting once more while cooking.
- Remove from oven and baste again. 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!
Notes
- See my original sticky chicken post with bone-in chicken here!
- When you're heating the sauce, whether in the microwave or in a saucepan, just warm it until the brown sugar dissolves, and it's smooth. You don't need to bring it to a full boil.
- When you dip the chicken in flour, make sure to shake off any excess before placing it in the dish. A light coating is all you need!
- Letting the chicken rest for five minutes before serving really makes a difference. It helps redistribute the juices, making the chicken more tender and flavorful. I usually baste it one last time right before I serve it.
