Peach BBQ Glazed Chicken features succulent, juicy chicken thighs coated in a sweet and tangy peach barbecue sauce that perfectly balances smoky flavors with fruity notes. This dish is a delightful twist on traditional BBQ, ideal for summer grilling or a cozy indoor meal.

Ingredients

• 2 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless) - 300 grams
• 1 ripe peach - 150 grams
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) peach preserves
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce (halal)
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (5 g) smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) salt
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peach preserves, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes or until heated through and well combined.
3. While the sauce simmers, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and brush them with olive oil.
4. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
5. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the peach BBQ glaze generously over the chicken, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the glazed chicken with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if desired, and enjoy!
