Ingredients
Scale

- Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Notes
For less sugar, swap half the honey for pureed apple and use low sugar BBQ sauce. Cool leftovers to room temperature and store in an airtight container.
