Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Garlic Brown Sugar Sauce:

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  2. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and season with olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Grill the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat.
  5. Glaze the Chicken: Brush the garlic brown sugar sauce over the grilled chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking and again right before serving.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • This sauce is also delicious over pork chops or salmon.
  • If you prefer extra caramelization, baste the chicken multiple times while grilling.
  • For a smokier flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the sauce.
