#### Directions:
1. **Prepare the Chicken Bites**:
– Start by seasoning the chicken cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
– Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
– While the chicken is cooking, prepare the honey glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
– Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey glaze over the chicken bites and stir to coat them evenly. Let them cook in the glaze for another minute or two until the sauce is sticky and the chicken is nicely coated.
2. **Prepare the Burger Patties**:
– While the chicken is cooking, shape the ground beef into two large, evenly sized patties. Season both sides of the patties with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
– Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (for medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F).
– About one minute before the burgers are finished cooking, add a slice of cheese to each patty and let it melt over the top.
3. **Assemble the Burger**:
– Toast the buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
– Spread a layer of BBQ sauce on the bottom bun. Place the first cheeseburger patty on the bun.
– Top the patty with a generous portion of the honey-glazed chicken bites, followed by a drizzle of extra BBQ sauce.
– Add your desired toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and red onion rings.
– Place the second cheeseburger patty on top, finishing the double-stack burger.
– Add the top bun, and press down gently to secure the layers.
4. **Serve and Enjoy**:
– Serve your BBQ Double-Stack Cheeseburger with Honey Glazed Chicken Bites immediately, while it’s still hot and the cheese is perfectly melted.
– Pair it with your favorite side—whether it’s crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh salad—and enjoy this indulgent flavor-packed masterpiece.
