Volume 2, Number 51 - May 18, 2001
Apple-Glazed Barbecued Chicken

 


Ingredients:
1  can  (6 ounce) frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed 
1  tablespoon  cider vinegar 
1  teaspoon  dried thyme 
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (4  ounces  each) 
1/8  teaspoon  hot-pepper sauce 
2  tablespoons  packed brown sugar 
1/4  cup  reduced-sodium ketchup 

Instructions:
In a small saucepan, combine the apple juice concentrate, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, thyme and hot- pepper sauce. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Place the chicken in a single layer in a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Pour about half of the cooled ketchup mixture over the chicken, turning once to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate both the chicken and the remaining ketchup mixture for 4 to 24 hours. Coat a grill rack with nonstick spray. Then light the grill according the manufacturer's directions. 

Check the temperature for grilling; the temperature should be medium-hot (see the Test Kitchen Tip below). Place the rack on the grill. Remove the chicken from the ketchup mixture; discard whatever ketchup mixture remains in the baking pan. Coat the chicken pieces with nonstick spray and brush them with some of the remaining ketchup mixture. Place the chicken on the rack and grill, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over and brush with the remaining ketchup mixture. Grill for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Discard any remaining ketchup mixture.
