Step 2: Grill the Chicken

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 3: Make the Barbecue Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sauce is heated through.
