Spicy BBQ Chicken

Disclaimer: I received product in exchange for sharing this recipe. All opinions are my own.

This Spicy BBQ Chicken recipe is going to become your new favorite chicken dish! Chicken breasts are marinated in a spicy BBQ sauce mixture then cooked to perfection. Additional BBQ sauce is served over the chicken for some extra kick. But don't stop there! Dip your fries in the sauce or use it as a salad dressing. 

Recently, I saw a recipe for spicy chicken, using hot sauce, sour cream, honey and some other ingredients to create a sauce. I thought about making the recipe as is, but it seems like every time I cook up chicken breasts, Tom decides to cover his in BBQ sauce. Which got me thinking that I could use the basis of the recipe I found but use BBQ Sauce as a base.

It was quite perfect actually, because I recently found my new favorite brand of BBQ sauce when I was visiting the butcher not too long ago.

Bar-B-Que Beast is a women-owned company located in Pennsylvania. Ann first created the sauce about 20 years ago while she was serving in the Air Force and was unable to find a traditional BBQ sauce while stationed in Germany.

I've now tried 3 of their sauces - On the Bay, which is a sweet heat sauce with Old Bay seasoning mixed in, Curry - a sweeter style sauce with curry mixed in, and Spicy, a thick sweet sauce with just enough heat mixed in.

For this recipe I used the Spicy version of their sauce. I want to try it again with the On the Bay sauce because...well, I'm from Maryland. We put Old Bay on everything.

For this week only (ending Saturday August 15th) there is a sale on Bar-B-Que Beast Sauces. They're also available in Giant and Martin's stores and other local stores throughout the mid-Altantic.

What is Spicy BBQ Chicken?

This spicy BBQ chicken recipe will quickly become your favorite one! The marinade and sauce for the chicken is made with BBQ sauce, hot sauce, honey, ketchup, sour cream and spices. Half of the mixture goes on top of the chicken so it can marinate in it and you reserve the other half to drizzle on top the chicken once it's cooked.

Ingredients Used

• boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
• sour cream
• Bar-b-Que Beast Spicy sauce
• hot sauce
• honey
• ketchup
• paprika and garlic powder

How to Make

1. Whisk together the sour cream, bbq sauce, hot sauce, honey, ketchup, paprika and garlic powder.
2. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Refrigerate the other half until ready to use.
3. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Brown the chicken cutlets on both sides, then transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
5. Drizzle some of the reserved marinade on top of the chicken

Side Dishes

Not sure what to serve with Spicy BBQ Chicken? I served it with corn on the cob and a salad, but the chicken would also pair great over rice or with mashed potatoes and your favorite green veggie.
