Honey Chipotle Grilled Chicken
POWERED BY ASouthernFairytale
Description
A southern styled rendition of juicy, mouth watering grilled chicken. Fast and finger-lickin’ good!
Ingredients
- 1 small can chipotles in adobo sauce
- ½ Cup of honey
- 5 to 6 chicken breasts
- fresh green onions, chopped (optional)
Attention: This dish can certainly bring the heat! If you are sensitive to a kick, opt to using small portions of chipotles.
Preparation
Using a Ninja, blender, food processor, bowl… blend together one can of chipotles in adobo sauce and the honey.
Pour half of this mixture over the chicken breasts in a zip lock baggie
Smoosh and squeeze the chicken and honey chipotle sauce until fully covered
Place in a refrigerator and marinate for several hours * This step is key!
Grill the chicken over medium coals or on the low side of a high/low gas grill until thoroughly cooked. (A good solid temperature will guarantee juicy,full flavored chicken. Cooking thermometers will help secure this. )
Once the chicken is moments from being removed from the grill – brush with the set aside honey chipotle mixture
Let the chicken cool for at least 5 minutes – brush with the honey chipotle mixture, again
Just prior to serving, top with fresh chopped green onions or peppers.
For a healthier alternative slice the chicken and place a small portion over a salad, and top it with some sliced strawberries or mandarin oranges for a mouth full of sweet heat!
