– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 4 tablespoons garlic butter
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
– Corn or flour tortillas
– Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, diced onions, sliced avocado, lime wedges
Follow these simple steps to create your Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Chicken Tacos:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the garlic butter. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
3. Mix Honey and BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, combine honey and BBQ sauce. Stir well to create a smooth mixture.
4. Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey BBQ mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
5. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
6. Prepare Tortillas: While the chicken simmers, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a flame until soft and pliable.
7. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
8. Assemble Tacos: Place a generous portion of the shredded chicken onto each tortilla.
9. Add Toppings: Top with your choice of cilantro, onions, avocado, or any other delightful toppings.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your tacos warm, and add a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of freshness.
