Steps:

• Combine the peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, mustard, garlic and jalapeno in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/2 cup.
• Preheat the grill. Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes. Brush both sides with the peach glaze and continue cooking until done, an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill and grill for 2 minutes. Turn over, brush with the reserved 1/2 cup of peach glaze and grill until the peaches are soft, 3 to 4 more minutes.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients; set aside.
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill, skin side down, over medium heat. Cook 10 minutes. Turn chicken; brush half the glaze evenly over chicken. Continue cooking and brushing with remaining glaze 10 to 12 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (170°F).

GRAPEFRUIT GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare the grapefruit. Juice one grapefruit into a liquid measure. On the second grapefruit, slice the bottom and top to level it, then starting at the top where the white pith ends and the pink flesh begins, cut between the 2 layers at an angle from the top to bottom all the way around to remove the skin and expose the flesh, making sure to slice off all the pithy white parts. Holding the grapefruit in one hand, release the wedges by using the knife to slice on either side of each segment.
• Place these wedges in a medium saute pan. Squeeze the remaining flesh and membranes of the grapefruit to release any juice into a bowl. Add the sugar and honey. Whisk to combine, then taste. If needed, add a teaspoon or more brown sugar to take away the tart of the grapefruit. Pour half of the mixture into a saute pan with the grapefruit wedges. Bring to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced and slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
• To the remaining half add the oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk to combine and pour into a plastic bag. Add the chicken, seal and toss a bit before resting on the counter for 25 to 30 minutes. Cook's Note: Any longer and the acid in the grapefruit juice will "cook" the chicken in the marinade and ruin it.
• Heat a grill pan to medium high and brush lightly with oil. Remove the chicken from the plastic bag and shake off the excess marinade. Place the smooth-side down on the grill and cook 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook 2 minutes more. Remove to a serving plate and pour the grapefruit sauce over the top.

HONEY GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium heat.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in honey and lemon juice. Reserve half for basting, and brush the other half onto the chicken breasts.
• Lightly oil the grill grate, and place chicken on the grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning frequently. Baste often during the last 5 minutes. Chicken is done when the meat is firm, and juices run clear.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. It will be a thick paste.
• Add the boneless chicken breasts to the bowl and mix well so they are completely coated in the marinade. Let them marinate while your BBQ heats up, or up to 8 hours.
• Preheat your BBQ to medium-high heat and oil the grates well. (Or use a grill mat for easy cleanup.) Grill the chicken breasts for 9 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH BARBECUE GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine sauce, honey, mayonnaise, garlic and ginger.
• Add chicken fillets to bowl and until well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
• Put chicken on oiled grill plate and bbq for approximately 5 minutes each side (longer if using large breasts), brushing occasionally with the marinade.

HONEY GLAZED GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Start with skinless boneless chicken breasts-trim nicely. If you have time, brine in 2 cups water and 1 tablespoon salt for an hour or two. Be sure to rinse well after brining.
• Mix the glaze of 2 tablespoons each of honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix well. Reserve 3/4 of the mixture for later.
• Give each breast a little salt (if not brined) and pepper to taste, then brush the glaze on both sides of the chicken. Don't forget to reserve 3/4 of the glaze for brushing during grilling.
• Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes (maximum) while cleaning, oiling, and preheating the grill to a surface temperature of about 450°-500°-medium-high on most grills.
• Place over direct heat. Be sure the grates are well oiled.
• After about 5-6 minutes, flip the chicken and brush with glaze. Continue to flip every 5-6 minutes and brush until an internal temperature of 165°-about 25 minutes. But your time may vary-cook to the final internal temperature of 165° in the thickest area.
• Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH GRAPEFRUIT MUSTARD

Steps:

• Poke holes in the chicken with the tines of a fork and set aside. Mix the marmalade, mustard and honey in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Add half the grapefruit sections. Juice the remaining grapefruit sections. Add the juice to the marinade and discard the pulp. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserve the grapefruit and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce by half. Season the chicken with salt and brush with some of the glaze.
• Heat the grill and brush with oil. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes. Turn and baste with sauce. Continue to turn and baste, until the juices run clear when pricked with a knife, about 12 to 15 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, broil the grapefruit sections until lightly browned. Serve the chicken topped with a few grapefruit sections and any remaining glaze.
