Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 dash paprika
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• ¾ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup sesame oil
• ⅛ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 dash cayenne pepper
• 1 dash celery salt
• 2 tablespoons chipotle powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Combine chicken breasts, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, chipotle powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne, and celery salt into a marinating container and mix well. Let chicken marinate at least 1 hour.

Step 3

Place marinated chicken breasts on the center of the grill, reserving remaining marinade. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, spreading remaining marinade over chicken using a basting brush every few minutes to properly glaze. Flip and continue to cook and baste until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more.
