Lazy O Ranch Sweet Chipotle Chicken

THE TEXAS GOURMET’S Sweet Chipotle Season All is a delightfully spicy and sweet rub for ribs and chicken and tastes great on baked sweet potatoes, fries, and deviled eggs. This recipe was created by a longtime neighbor and good friend Jeff Ottmann. Serves 6 to 8.

Ingredients

6 to 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thighs may be used as well.

¼ cup Olive oil

¼ cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/3 cup Texas Gourmet’s Sweet Chipotle Season All

Foil

A digital meat thermometer

Preparation

Place all liquids into a small sauce pot, then sift the Sweet Chipotle Season All into the liquids breaking up any large bits of brown sugar before adding to saucepan. Bring to a simmer and heat through to allow the flavors to meld together to form a thin paste. Space the chicken pieces onto a large platter and brush both sides well with the paste, then transfer to a seasoned and preheated grill. Gas or charcoal are both OK but cook indirectly at about 350 to 375 degrees and keep covered when cooking. Turn the chicken every 5 minutes and baste with the paste each time you turn them. The chicken should be done in 10 to 12 minutes, but please use your meat thermometer and remove from fire when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Transfer to a warmed metal tray and cover with foil 7 to 8 minutes to rest the meat and allow the juices to settle in the meat.

Serve with your favorite sides and a nice glass of your favorite red wine. You can also chill the grilled breasts a few hours before your gathering and slice the meat thin to serve over a Greek style salad.
