Steps:
- Whisk together the ingredients for the brine until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Place the chicken breasts in the brine, using a plate to keep them submerged, and brine in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.
- While the chicken is brining, combine all of ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the breasts on all over with the rub and place in a Ziploc bag and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight.
- Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over the charcoal grate. Grill the serrano chiles until charred on all sides and remove to a small bowl, cover, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Peel and roughly chop the chiles and add them along with the parsley, mint, and garlic to a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the honey and mustard and process until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- Brush the chicken lightly with olive oil and grill, skin side down until golden brown and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the breasts over, cover, and continue to cook until an instant read thermometer reads 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the breast, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
- Transfer chicken to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the parsley-mint sauce. Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with additional sauce on the side.

Steps:
- To make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk all ingredients except the chicken.

- Remove the chicken from the bag and reserve the marinade. Pour the marinade in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and boil for 1 full minute.
- Grill the chicken, skin side down first, and turning (once) and basting with the marinade, over direct medium heat until the meat is firm to the touch and no longer pink in the center, or until it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. This should take a total of approximately 8 - 12 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your grilled chicken.
- Make sure your chicken is properly thawed before grilling. If it's still frozen, it won't cook evenly.
- Preheat your grill to the proper temperature before cooking. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the grill. This will also prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Spanish grilled chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. With its zesty flavors and smoky aroma, this chicken is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
