GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS IN RASPBERRY VINEGAR MARINADE
This recipe was adopted from the RecipeZaar account. After making this myself, I found that the addition of a couple of tablespoons of seedless raspberry jam to the basting liquid really added a nice flavor. Use in the last few minutes of broiling or grilling as the jam will burn.

Steps:
- Combine paprika, mustard, sugar, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly on chicken, then set chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand uncovered 1 hour.
- Separately, combine vinegar, honey, and chile.
- Heat a charcoal grill, creating a two-zone fire with vents partially open. Position coals on one side of the grill for direct high heat, and leave the other side empty for indirect lower heat. (On a gas grill, turn one side on high, and leave the other burners off.) Lightly coat chicken with olive oil and place over indirect heat. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until pieces are cooked through and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts (not touching bones) registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes.
- Uncover grill; transfer chicken to direct heat. Brush on vinegar sauce as pieces come off the grill, and serve it on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results.
- Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade: This will help the chicken to cook evenly and absorb all the flavors.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the chicken plenty of space to cook so that it doesn't steam.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the chicken to retain its juices.
Conclusion:
Vinegar grilled chicken is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade tenderizes the chicken and infuses it with flavor, while the grilling process gives it a slightly smoky flavor. Serve vinegar grilled chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, potato salad, or coleslaw.
