Weeknight chicken doesn't have to be uninspired. These Sticky Maple BBQ Chicken Breasts are all about that glorious, caramelized exterior. By searing the chicken with FreshJax® Rosy Cheeks Maple Bourbon BBQ Blend, you create a "sticky" glaze that clings to the meat, providing a sweet-and-smoky crust that tastes like it spent all day on a pit. It’s the perfect way to get those deep, outdoor BBQ flavors in a fraction of the time, keeping the chicken breasts juicy and succulent on the inside.
Good to Know: Because this blend contains natural maple sugar, it can burn if the heat is too high. Cook the chicken over medium heat to allow the sugars to caramelize slowly into a sticky glaze rather than charring, ensuring a perfect balance of sweet and smoky.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
2 tsp Rosy Cheeks® Maple Bourbon BBQ Seasoning (or more to taste)
1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment.
Pat chicken breast dry, then rub with olive oil and Rosy Cheeks® Maple Bourbon BBQ Blend.

Bake 35–40 minutes until skin is crispy and internal temp reaches 165°F.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving for maximum juiciness.
