BBQ Chicken with Sweet Chili–Peach Glaze Ingredients
- 5 peaches, sliced in half and pitted, divided
- 1/2 c. sweet chili sauce
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 8 green onions

BBQ Chicken with Sweet Chili–Peach Glaze Directions
- In a blender, add one peach (roughly chopped), sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and zest; pulse and blend until smooth, then transfer to a small bowl. Place the remaining peaches cut side up on a rimmed sheet pan with green onions. Skewer onions through the center and place them on a sheet pan. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Meanwhile, rinse the chicken and pat dry thoroughly. On a separate rimmed sheet pan, arrange chicken pieces, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Place chicken on the grill and cook covered for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and add peaches, green onions, and onions to the grill. Cover for 5 minutes and flip peaches and vegetables. When the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 150 to 155°, brush glaze on the chicken. Flip chicken until glazed and browned on both sides and internal temperature is 165°; total cooking time for chicken is about 25 minutes. Peaches and vegetables should have dark grill marks and be slightly charred; the cooking time is 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a large platter and serve with the remaining glaze.
