Description:

Indulge in the delightful flavors of this Sweet Chilli Chicken recipe, a mouthwatering dish that combines the tanginess of chili sauce with the sweetness of honey, perfectly complementing tender, juicy chicken breasts. With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a savory meal ready to impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons clear honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glaze:

   • In a small bowl, combine the chili sauce, clear honey, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated to create a flavorful glaze.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 slits across the skin side of each chicken breast. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat and ensure even cooking.
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Infuse with Flavor:

   • Lift the skin on each chicken breast and tuck under the crushed garlic. This will infuse the chicken with aromatic garlic goodness, adding depth to every bite.

4. Coat with Glaze:

   • Dip the underside of each chicken breast into the prepared glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture. Reserve the remaining glaze for later use.

5. Grill to Perfection:

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
   • Place the chicken breasts glazed side up on the grill and cook for approximately 8 minutes, or until golden and sticky. This initial grilling will seal in the flavors and create a delicious caramelized crust.

6. Flip and Glaze Again:

   • Carefully turn the chicken breasts over using tongs.
   • Brush the top side of each breast with the reserved glaze, ensuring they are generously coated.
   • Continue grilling for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has caramelized to perfection.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
   • Garnish with fresh lime wedges for a burst of citrusy flavor.
   • Serve immediately and savor the irresistible combination of sweet and spicy notes in every tender bite.
