Honey Chipotle Grilled Chicken

I started grilling season with this recipe for Honey Chipotle Grilled Chicken and it was the perfect combo of sweet and spicy đŸ™‚

The weather has been getting nicer and nicer lately, so in my mind that means grilling season is heeeeeerrrrre!!!

See ya in the fall, slow cooker…heeeellllooooo my new friend, grill!

How to Make Honey Chipotle Grilled Chicken

For the sauce/ marinade put a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce into a food processor (or blender).

Add a cup of honey, two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper.

Pulse it a few times until it’s smooth and blended.

Next place four chicken breasts in a gallon size plastic bag and add about half of the honey chipotle sauce.

Massage the bag until evenly mixed and marinate for at least an hour, or overnight in the fridge.

All that’s left to do now is grill!

I prefer grilling these over medium heat so the honey chipotle glaze doesn’t char before the chicken is fully cooked.

These will take about 12 minutes total.

And brush the remaining honey chipotle sauce during the last few minutes.

The honey chipotle sauce turns into a glaze and sticks really well to the chicken.
