Pepper Jelly Glazed Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F).
• Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish so they are not crowded. In a cup or small bowl, mix together the pepper jelly, mustard and honey; pour over chicken to coat.
• Bake uncovered for about 1 hour, basting occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink, and the juices run clear.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, coriander, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Rub the mixture over the chicken. In another bowl, whisk together the jelly, vinegar, and rosemary.
• 2. Brush the grill grate with oil. Grill the chicken halves, bone side down, for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until there are dark grill marks on the skin, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken again and brush the skin with the jelly mixture. Continue cooking, brushing the skin every 10 minutes with the jelly mixture, reserving some for serving, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh but not touching the bone registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into serving pieces and serve with the extra glaze on the side.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or cup, combine the pepper jelly, mustard, oregano, garlic, and lemon juice; set aside.
• POUND chicken breasts to even thickness, season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over moderately high heat.
• When the foam subsides, add the chicken breasts and cook, turning once, until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
• Push chicken to one side, loosen the browned bits on the bottom; add onion and chicken broth, cook until onion is tender, about 7 minutes.
• Add the pepper jelly mixture to the pan and coat the chicken with the sauce.
• Cook until the sauce is reduced and if you get impatient, try adding some dry Italian bread crumbs to thicken it up.
• Taste test and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Transfer the chicken to plates and spoon onion sauce on top.

Steps:

• For OAMC: Combine ingredients in a ziploc bag and place flat in freezer. To serve: Thaw overnight in fridge, dump into a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees until chicken is cooked through and glaze is sticky.
• Or, Combine Pepper Jelly and lime juice in small saucepan. Heat until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. Grill chicken breasts for 15 to 20 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 175 degrees and chicken is no longer pink in center. Brush pepper jelly mixture on chicken during the last 10 minutes of grilling.

Steps:

• Finely grind black peppercorns and 2 Tbsp. pink peppercorns in a spice mill or mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in 5 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt; set seasoning aside.
• Place chicken, breast side down, on a cutting board and use kitchen shears to cut along both sides of the backbone to remove (freeze and save it for stock!). Open chicken and turn skin side up. Press down on center of breast to flatten chicken-you should hear the breastbone crack. Using a chef's knife or cleaver, split chicken in half through breastbone. Pat dry; rub all over with 1 Tbsp. oil. Sprinkle reserved seasoning all over, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
• Coarsely grind remaining 2 Tbsp. pink peppercorns in spice mill or mortar and pestle. Cook chiles, honey, vinegar, and remaining 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture just turns amber in color and is reduced by about half (it should coat a spoon), 10-12 minutes. Stir in pink pepper and set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grate. Set chicken on grate, cover, positioning vent over chicken if your grill has one, and grill, turning every 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thighs registers 120°-130°F, 15-20 minutes. Continue to grill, basting with honey mixture and turning chicken every 2-3 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thighs registers 175°F and 155°F in the thickest part of breast, 10-15 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board and place skin side up. Let rest 30 minutes before carving.
