Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the apple habanero BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    Thinly slice the red onion and jalapeños. Set them aside for topping the chicken.

Grilling

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 5

    Add BBQ Sauce

    During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the prepared BBQ sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly on the grill.
