How to Make Pensacola Grilled Chicken Spicy And Sweet

  1. In a non-metallic bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons orange marmalade concentrate, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning, zest of 1 orange, and 2 minced cloves garlic.
  2. Cover and refrigerate half of the mixture for the sauce later.
  3. In a resealable plastic bag placed in a shallow dish, combine 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with the remaining orange mixture.
  4. Seal the bag, ensuring no air remains, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-24 hours, turning occasionally.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade.
  6. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  7. Place chicken on the preheated grill.
  8. Grill for 12-15 minutes, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade. Discard leftover marinade after grilling.
  9. For the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the reserved chilled orange mixture and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
  10. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly.
  11. Continue cooking for 2 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  12. Serve the grilled chicken over hot cooked rice.
  13. Garnish with orange slices and green onions.
  14. Spoon the sauce generously over the chicken and garnish.
