Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
¾ cup maple syrup
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup sesame oil
⅛ cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chipotle powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 dash paprika
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash celery salt

Steps:

  • Combine chicken breasts, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, chipotle powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne, and celery salt into a marinating container and mix well. Let chicken marinate at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place marinated chicken breasts on the center of the grill, reserving remaining marinade. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, spreading remaining marinade over chicken using a basting brush every few minutes to properly glaze.

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more to taste
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Small bunch fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
2 pounds bone-in skinless chicken pieces, such as legs, thighs and breasts, halved
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotles in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir the water, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon syrup until dissolved. Stir in the thyme. Smash 3 cloves of garlic and add to the brine with the chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Mince the remaining clove of garlic and add to a medium pot with the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons syrup, chipotles, chili powder and salt, to taste. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for serving.
  • Prepare the grill or grill pan for direct/high heat. Oil the grill grates. Drain the chicken and very pat dry. Grill, turning, until no longer pink near the bone, 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken pieces). Brush with sauce generously as it cooks during the second half of the cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a combination of maple syrup and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. This will give the chicken a sweet and smoky flavor.
  • If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • When grilling the chicken, cook it over medium heat until it is cooked through. This will prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Grilled maple chipotle chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of maple syrup and chipotle peppers gives the chicken a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new chicken recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
