How to Make Barbecued Chicken Breasts With Spicy Peach Glaze

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup peach preserves, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Place chicken breasts skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Flip chicken breasts. Brush the top with the peach glaze.
  6. Continue grilling for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-5 minutes and brushing with glaze each time, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. If the chicken is browning too quickly before it's cooked through, move it to a cooler part of the grill or briefly to the oven.
  8. While the chicken cooks, prepare the peaches: Place peach halves (about 2 large peaches, pitted and halved) cut-side down on the grill.
  9. Grill for 2 minutes. Flip, brush with glaze, and grill for another 3-4 minutes, until soft and juicy.
  10. Remove chicken and peaches from the grill. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
