Brine

- Remove the chicken and pat dry with paper towels, then season.
Glaze
- Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave, about 30 seconds, then add all the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Pour 1/2 of the glaze mixture into another bowl to use as a drizzle after the chicken is grilled.
Chicken
- Preheat your grill, about 10 minutes for gas and 5 minutes for coals. Clean the grate and lightly coat with vegetable oil.
- Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken then place on the grill, skin side up for 4 minutes.
- Coat the top side with the glaze then turn over and cook 4 minutes. Apply glaze to the second side.
- Continue to turn and glaze the breasts until the internal temperature is around 150 degrees, (or more to your liking).
- Place on a serving dish, coat with the reserved glaze and cover with foil 5 minutes.
- Serve right away. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Recipe adapted from America's Test Kitchen.
If you have smaller chicken breasts, the glaze would be enough for 4.
