No. 1 : Quick Recipe
Grilled Chicken with Summer Peaches BBQ Sauce
- 8 – 12 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 2 TB Olive Oil
- 1 TB Sea Salt
- 1 Tsp Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Recipe Peach BBQ Sauce
- **Oil the Grill
- Chopped Parsley
Step One
Place the thighs, olive oil, salt and peppers into a ziplock bag. Massage the chicken until well coated with the oil and seasoning. Set on the counter while you preheat the grill and prepare the bbq sauce.
Step Two
Place the chicken on a preheated, high, hot and clean grill, (or grillpan or cast-iron skillet, that has been *oiled). Turn the heat down to medium and grill the thighs until browned, about 2 – 3 minutes per side. Pour half the sauce into a ziplock bag and place the chicken in the bag and massage on both sides to cover the thighs. Remove from the bag and place it back on the grill and continue cooking about 2 minutes per side. Chicken should register 165F on an instant read thermometer when cooked properly. Sprinkle the thighs with parsley and serve the rest of the sauce on the side.

Oil your grill, pan or skillet by dipping ½ onion into a small amount of oil in a saucer or flat bowl. Use a fork to stab the onion and run it all over the grill or pan.

Chicken with peach BBQ sauce is sweet, tangy, and a little smoky — a beautiful flavor combo that pairs well with a variety of wines – but I’ve chosen one of my favorites. Juicy red berry flavors and low tannins are some of the hallmarks of this wine from the very southern tip of Burgundy. Made with the Gamay grape, its light body makes it a great candidate for chilling a bit to serve on a warm summer evening. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 – 40 minutes before serving.
