Grilled Chicken Breast Glazed with a Habanero Pepper Jelly BBQ Sauce is perfect for Father’s Day. The Habanero BBQ sauce has a nice little kick that Dad will love.
There is a saying around Ohio and probably used in other parts of the Midwest. The saying goes something like this “Ohio weather nothing better, give it 24 hours and it will change”. Last Thursday it was 81 degrees here in SW Ohio. By Friday the high was 41 degrees. Yesterday it had warmed up to a balmy 65 and I decided to smoke a pork shoulder on the Weber.
Grilling season is here, so today I decided to try a new grilled chicken recipe. The pepper jelly I use in this recipe is from habanero peppers I grow in my garden each year along with the essential ingredients to make my homemade salsa.
Habanero jelly is not as hot as you think, but is does have great flavor, especially in this homemade BBQ glaze. Any type of pepper jelly will work with this recipe. Reserve some of the marinade to glaze the chicken as it grills. I served this with simple brown rice and grilled corn on the cob. Gotta love grilling season!
Enjoy!

That sauce glazed on the chicken looks so tasty!! I’d probably lick my plate after I ate the chicken….. okay, there’s no “probably” about it… I’d lick it 🙂 LOL. Great recipe!!

I need to revisit this recipe and take some new picks. Made it a couple of years ago. I love habanero’s. I canned a new batch of habanero jelly and habanero mustard few weeks ago. If you want to give them a try on some recipes and write up a post let me know and I will get them to you. Have a great weekend. Quinn
