Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 peaches, diced

1 jalapeño, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Make the Honey Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
  3. Season and Grill the Chicken: Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, brush with olive oil, and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Prepare the Peach-Jalapeño Mixture: While grilling, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add diced peaches and sliced jalapeño, then pour in the honey mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Glaze the Chicken: Brush the grilled chicken with the peach-jalapeño glaze and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes per side.
  6. Serve: Top the chicken with the remaining peach-jalapeño mixture and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the spice level.

For a sweeter glaze, add more honey.

You can prepare the glaze ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
