Ingredients

1 serving cooking spray
1/2 cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to an even thickness
1 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

Mix barbeque sauce, honey, brown sugar, and chile-garlic sauce together in a bowl until you have no clumps of brown sugar. Spoon about half the sauce into a separate bowl for serving.
Arrange chicken breast halves onto the prepared sheet. Brush sauce from one of the bowls onto breasts.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with pepper and serve with the reserved bowl of sauce for dipping.
