How to make tender honey BBQ chicken with crispy garlic parmesan potatoes on the grill for a romantic dinner that’s ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
Honey BBQ Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Garlic Parmesan Potatoes
- 1 pound small baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary until evenly coated. Use a grill basket for easy handling.
- Start Grilling: Place potato basket on grill and cook for 15 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes. They should start getting golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Season Chicken: While potatoes cook, brush chicken with olive oil and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature briefly.
- Make Glaze: Mix honey and BBQ sauce in a small bowl. This sweet and tangy glaze will caramelize beautifully on the grill, creating that perfect sticky coating.
- Grill Chicken: Add seasoned chicken to grill alongside potatoes. Cook 6-7 minutes per side, brushing with honey BBQ glaze during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over potatoes in the final 2 minutes of cooking. The cheese should melt and get slightly golden for the perfect finish.
- Rest and Serve: Let chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice. Garnish potatoes with fresh parsley and serve immediately while everything is hot and the cheese is melty.
Notes
- Don’t add honey glaze until the last 2-3 minutes or it will burn and taste bitter.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Chicken thighs can substitute for breasts with same cooking time.
- Preheat grill basket to prevent potatoes from sticking.
- Use meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
- Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
