GRILLED APPLE HONEY CHICKEN



Grilled Apple Honey Chicken image

Found in an old flyer and tried it out. My kids loved the hint of apple flavor. Great grilling recipe for those summer days when you don't want to turn on an oven. Can be prepared in the oven under a broiler...4-6 inches from broiler - broil 15-20 minutes occasionally basting with glaze. ***For the Chef who asked - it is 1/3 cup apple jelly (not applesauce) that is the first ingredient - it is not showing up in the recipe even though it is there in the "edit tool" -- I tried to zmail you but you are not accepting outside zmails from another chef. I hope you find this note! ******

1 (6 ounce) can frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (3 lb) chicken, cut into serving pieces
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 inch thick rings

Steps:

  • To make the chicken: Combine the apple juice concentrate, maple syrup, vinegar, oil, salt, cinnamon and pepper.
  • Put the chicken pieces in a large Ziploc bag with the above combined ingredients.
  • Marinate this in the fridge for 4 hours, or even overnight, turning occasionally.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and put the pieces into a baking pan and roast for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
