RED, WHITE, AND BLUEBERRY GRILLED CHICKEN



Red, White, and Blueberry Grilled Chicken image

These colors don't run, but they do stain, so I recommend eating this delicious, red, white and blueberry chicken outdoors at a barbeque. Smoky, spicy meats have been paired with sweet-and-sour, fruit-based sauces since we've had cooks, so that this combo works beautifully is no big surprise. And yes, other juicy fruit like peaches, or other berries will work nicely.

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups fresh blueberries
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk oil, salt, paprika, chipotle pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic in a bowl to make marinade. Place chicken breasts in marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Spread sugar in a saucepan set over medium heat. Do not stir, but watch closely as sugar begins to melt after about 1 minute. As sugar melts it will gradually turn a golden color. Continue watching but not stirring. When all sugar has melted and golden color just begins to darken a bit (after 1 minute or less), remove pan from heat. Pour in vinegar and stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Place pan over medium-high heat and add blueberries to the sugar-vinegar mixture. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until blueberries soften and mixture begins to thicken, 4 or 5 minutes. It should be a syrup-like consistency. If sauce seems too thin, simmer a few more minutes. If it seems too thick, add a splash of water. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Set a strainer over a bowl. Strain berries, using a spatula to push through as much juice as possible. Discard skins.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Drain excess marinade from chicken.
  • Place chicken breasts on preheated grill. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and allow to rest a few minutes.
  • Serve breasts on a swirl of blueberry sauce with more sauce drizzled on top.

ROSEMARY-BLUEBERRY SAUCE



Rosemary-Blueberry Sauce image

Not too sweet, nice slightly resinous flavor from the rosemary. A little lemon zest or even a bit of chile pepper would be a good addition. From"Herbivoracious", by Michael Natkin, who recommends this sauce for blintzes or vanilla ice cream. Also good on cornmeal pancakes. If you like a fruity sauce with duck, a little of this would be nice. Fresh rosemary is a must, dried leaves would be too intense.

Tips:

  • Select the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts for maximum flavor and juiciness.
  • Enhance the flavors: Marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with delicious flavors.
  • Crisp up the skin: Before roasting the chicken, pat it dry and season it generously with salt and pepper. This will help create a crispy, golden-brown skin.
  • Roast at high temperature: Roast the chicken at a high temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes to ensure that the skin becomes crispy and the meat cooks through.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: While the chicken is roasting, prepare the blueberry sauce by simmering blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and rosemary until it thickens and becomes slightly syrupy.
  • Garnish and serve: Before serving, let the chicken rest for a few minutes so that the juices redistribute. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve the chicken with the blueberry sauce drizzled on top.
