How to Make Honey BBQ Chicken with Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

Follow these simple steps to create a mouthwatering Honey BBQ Chicken with Garlic Parmesan Potatoes that your family will love.

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the seasoned chicken to a baking dish and pour half of the honey BBQ sauce over the top. Make sure to coat the chicken well.

Step 2: Roast the Chicken

Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip the chicken breasts and brush the remaining BBQ sauce on top. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is juicy.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Toss everything together until the potatoes are thoroughly coated.

Step 4: Bake the Potatoes

Spread the garlic Parmesan potatoes in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake these in the oven (alongside the chicken if space allows) for about 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. You can flip them halfway through for even cooking.

Step 5: Serve

Once everything is done, plate your delicious Honey BBQ Chicken with the Garlic Parmesan Potatoes. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired for an extra touch.

And there you have it! In about 45 minutes, you’ve created a meal that looks and tastes like it took a lot longer to make.

Pro Tips for Perfect Honey BBQ Chicken with Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

Marinate for Flavor: For even more flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey BBQ sauce for a few hours or overnight.
Crispy Potatoes: If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in those garlic Parmesan potatoes—it’s worth it!
Check Chicken Temperature: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked.

Variations & Substitutions

Chicken Thighs: Feel free to swap boneless chicken breasts for thighs for a richer flavor.
Sweet Potatoes: Instead of baby potatoes, use sweet potatoes for a delightful twist.
Herbs: Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme to elevate the flavor.
Gluten-Free Options: This recipe is naturally gluten-free—just check your BBQ sauce to ensure it fits your dietary needs.
