Creating these incredible Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Chicken Tacos is simple when you follow these clear steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
2. Melt the Garlic Butter: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of garlic butter over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink and cooked through.
4. Make the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, combine honey, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, and remaining garlic butter in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed.
