Grilled Chicken with Sweet Chili-Peach Glaze RecipeServings 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb. bone-in skin-on chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 4 peaches (sliced in half, pitted, divided)
  • Zest and juice of lime
  • 5 green onions, chopped
  • 2 red onions (sliced into ¾-inch rings)
  • 7–8 bamboo skewers (soaked in water)
  • extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • salt, to taste
  • ground black pepper

 

Instructions:

  • In a blender or food processor, apply lime juice, lime zest, sweet chili sauce, and one peach (roughly chopped); blend until smooth and transfer to a small bowl.
  • Next, on a rimmed sheet pan apply chopped green onions and remaining peaches (quarter-sliced). Lightly drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Then, preheat grill on medium-high. In the meantime, rinse the meat and pat dry thoroughly. Now, on another rimmed sheet pan apply chicken – drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with black pepper and salt.
  • Apply chicken meat on grill; cook covered for ten minutes. Flip the meat and place onions, green onions, and peaches to grill. Cover for five minutes and flip vegetables and peaches.
  • Once the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150°-155°, brush glaze on it and flip chicken until well glazed and browned on both sides (the internal temperature should be 165°); total cooking time for this kind of meat is around 25 minutes. Vegetables and peaches should be slightly charred and have dark grill marks; cooking time is around 8 -10 minutes.
  • To finish, transfer to a large platter; serve with remaining glaze.

Enjoy!
