Steps:
- Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Stir jelly, cilantro, vinegar and chili in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until glaze comes to simmer. Reserve 1/4 cup glaze in saucepan; pour remaining glaze into small bowl.
- Brush chicken all over with glaze from bowl. Set pan of reserved glaze at edge of barbecue to rewarm. Place chicken, skin side down, on barbecue. Grill 4 minutes; brush with glaze from bowl. Using tongs, turn chicken over. Grill 5 minutes. Brush with glaze from bowl. Turn chicken again and grill until cooked through, about 2 minutes longer.
- Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon glaze in saucepan over and serve.
Tips:
- For a crispier crust, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been pounded thin. This will help the glaze adhere better to the chicken.
- If you don't have hot pepper jelly, you can use another type of sweet and spicy jelly, such as red pepper jelly or mango habanero jelly.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
