How to Make BBQ Baked Chicken:

1. Cut bacon into bite-sized pieces and saute in a skillet until crispy (don’t overcook, the bacon will finish cooking in the oven).


2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and hot sauce (or Sriracha). Spread some sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.


3. Lightly pound chicken to an even thickness then season both sides with salt and pepper and transfer to the baking dish.


4. Cut pineapple into bite-sized pieces and add to the baking dish along with the cooked bacon.


5. Pour barbecue sauce over everything. Bake the chicken dish uncovered for 25-30 minutes.

How Long to Bake Chicken Breast?

Baking chicken breast is so easy and the time will slightly vary depending on the size of the breast and the temperature you bake the chicken at (and of course, any added toppings may add to the baking time). You always want the internal temperature of the chicken to be 165°F, measuring the thickest part of the chicken. 

• 350°F – The baking time will be about 28-33 minutes.


• 375°F – The baking time will be somewhere between 25-30 minutes.


• 400°F – You’ll want to bake the chicken between 22-26 minutes.

What Kind of Barbecue Sauce do I use?
