RASPBERRY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

Baste your grill grates with vegetable oil to ensure your chicken won't stick. Wash and pat dry your chicken pieces. Once the grill is ready, place your chicken pieces on the grill. Let chicken sear on one side, flip over, let chicken sear on the flip side. Turn down your heat to medium low and continue cooking. Chicken with bone in will take about 35 minutes or so till the internal temperature reads 165F and juices run clear. About 10 minutes before you know the chicken will be cooked through, start basting with the raspberry chipotle sauce. Let cook for a couple of minutes, flip over and baste the other side. Do this every few minutes for the last 10 minutes or so before chicken is completely cooked through. This will ensure a beautiful coating of sticky gooey GOODNESS!! Enjoy!!
