  • Grill chicken,covered over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until juices run clear,basting frequently with reserved marinade.

  1. This is excellent!! We used only 1 pepper, it was just right for us. The lemon, honey and spices came together beautifuly! Thanks for a great recipe, will definitely make this again!
     
  2. This was a very tasty tropical dish! It was raining here really bad so my broiler went to work! I have to say cooking it that way didn't seem to take away from the flavor, which was slightly sweet with a light pepperiness. Nothing to blow the roof off, for those worried about those peppers! If someone wanted things a bit hotter, they "might" toss in a few habaneros instead of the jalapenos, or maybe in addition to. That might set a little fire to someones socks! ;) For me, I just went ahead and added a few drops of habanero sauce to kick things up even more. For my daughter, she did the chicken with no peppers at all. Takes all kinds of people to make the world go 'round! Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  3. This is an excellent dish, jalapenos just add mild flavor. We will make this often and can't wait to do iton the grill in the summer.
     
  4. This is a great marinade. I used a little less honey and found that it was plenty sweet. Definitely a great recipe for the summer barbeque season.
     
  5. OH MY! This was a hit! Didn't take long to put together the day before and didn't take long to put away after it was grilled! I used 1/4 c. honey + 1/4 c. Spenda to cut down on sugar content. Also used chopped chili peppers instead of jalapeno. I cut the green peppers into quarters and chopped them in the blender with everything else then marinated the chicken overnight. This was for DD 2nd birthday party with family and everyone loved this chicken! Thanks!
