Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 coarse ground black pepper
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 cups ketchup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut diagonally into the chicken breasts about 1/4 inch deep in an x shape to allow the bbq sauce to flavor more of the chicken. (like how a holiday ham has the top cut into an x shape).
Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl and toss well together until mixed.
Add the chicken to a sheet pan, then pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
Cook for 25 -30 minutes or until caramelized, browned and cooked through.
Shred the chicken with the forks and serve in your favorite bun, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
If the sauce didn't cook down enough (if you use a pan that's too small it may not), then add the sauce to a saucepan and cook on medium heat until thickened (likely 15-20 minutes).

Recipe Notes

Original Recipe: https://dinnerthendessert.com/bbq-pulled-chicken/

I had a bit over 2 lb, so I think I should have had more sauce. Also, we shredded the chicken, then mixed it together, covered the pan in foil, and put back in the oven for a few minutes, maybe 10-15 minutes. Awesome!

I plan to do more work on the sauce - I think I can make it better!
