This recipe brings back a favorite backyard flavor: juicy grilled chicken breasts coated in a sweet and tangy barbecue glaze. Richard remembers this taste from a summer cookout years ago. Follow these steps for perfectly caramelized chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika to make the glaze.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the hot grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  5. During the last 2 minutes of cooking on each side, brush the chicken liberally with the barbecue glaze. You want the glaze to caramelize slightly without burning.
  6. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For even cooking, try to pound the thicker ends of the chicken breasts slightly so they are uniform in thickness.
  • If the glaze starts to burn too quickly, move the chicken to a cooler part of the grill while you finish cooking.
  • This glaze works wonderfully on pork chops too, if you want to try a variation next time.
