Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, reheat the cooked rice in a separate pot or microwave.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of warm rice and drizzle with any remaining BBQ sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions.
