Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
¾ cup maple syrup
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup sesame oil
⅛ cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chipotle powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 dash paprika
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash celery salt

Steps:

Combine chicken breasts, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, chipotle powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne, and celery salt into a marinating container and mix well. Let chicken marinate at least 1 hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Place marinated chicken breasts on the center of the grill, reserving remaining marinade. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, spreading remaining marinade over chicken using a basting brush every few minutes to properly glaze. Flip and continue to cook and baste until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more to taste
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Small bunch fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
2 pounds bone-in skinless chicken pieces, such as legs, thighs and breasts, halved
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotles in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

In a large bowl stir the water, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon syrup until dissolved. Stir in the thyme. Smash 3 cloves of garlic and add to the brine with the chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 2 to 3 hours.
Mince the remaining clove of garlic and add to a medium pot with the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons syrup, chipotles, chili powder and salt, to taste. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for serving.
Prepare the grill or grill pan for direct/high heat. Oil the grill grates. Drain the chicken and very pat dry. Grill, turning, until no longer pink near the bone, 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken pieces). Brush with sauce generously as it cooks during the second half of the cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

Choose a flavorful chicken marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to choose one that you enjoy. The recipe in the article uses a mixture of maple syrup, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and spices.
Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the chicken and give it a nice charred flavor. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Serve with your favorite sides: Grilled chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, grilled corn on the cob, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled maple chipotle chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The combination of sweet, smoky, and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
