A delicious grilled recipe that makes the meat very tender. The part that takes the longest is allowing the meat to marinate!

Provided by bellacola

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup barbecue sauce (I love Sweet Baby Ray's Hot and Spicy)
1/4 cup honey (use the real stuff, if you buy it in bulk, it's pretty cheap) or 1/4 cup maple syrup (use the real stuff, if you buy it in bulk, it's pretty cheap)
2 tablespoons sweet sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lb chicken or 1 lb shrimp

Steps:

  • Mix first four ingredients together
  • Place chicken or shrimp in a freezer bag or bowl and add marinade
  • Marinate for at least one hour (I often add the marinade as soon as I take the meat out of the freezer and let it thaw in the marinade)
  • Grill or broil until meat is no longer pink (sorry, I am horrible with cooking times!).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. The bones and skin help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives this chicken its delicious flavor. Be sure to use a good quality olive oil, honey, and balsamic vinegar. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a charcoal grill, place the chicken on the side of the grill that doesn't have any coals underneath it. If you're using a gas grill, turn off one of the burners and place the chicken over the unlit burner.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade: This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful. Baste the chicken every 10-15 minutes, or more often if you're cooking over high heat.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature of the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast or thigh.

Conclusion:

Honey barbecued chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of honey, balsamic vinegar, and spices, then grilled over indirect heat until it is cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that is sure to be a hit with everyone at your party.
