Grilled Glazed Chicken Breasts Food

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.
