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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Lightly spray both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil spray.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the low-fat classic chicken barbecue with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!
