Hey there, foodies! Get ready to elevate your BBQ game with this mouthwatering recipe that’ll have your neighbors “accidentally” dropping by your backyard! Trust me, I’ve made this countless times, and it never fails to impress – even my picky mother-in-law gave it two thumbs up (and that’s saying something! 😉).
Today, I’m sharing my secret weapon: Honey-Glazed Citrus BBQ Chicken with Grilled Peaches. This isn’t your average backyard BBQ dish, honey! This is the kind that makes people beg for the recipe.
What You’ll Need:
– 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on because we’re not trying to be bland here!)
– 4 ripe peaches, halved
– 1/3 cup honey
– 2 oranges (juice and zest)
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust if you’re feeling spicy!)
– Fresh rosemary sprigs
– Salt and pepper to taste

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. First things first, marinate those chicken thighs! Mix honey, orange juice, zest, garlic, soy sauce, and sriracha in a bowl. Reserve about 1/4 cup for later (trust me on this one).
1. Let those thighs swim in the marinade for at least 2 hours. I usually do this in the morning while having my coffee, but overnight works too if you’re that organized (unlike me most days 😅).
1. Fire up that grill to medium-high heat. Clean those grates – nobody wants yesterday’s burger bits on their chicken!
1. Place chicken skin-side down first (about 6-7 minutes each side). Brush with the reserved marinade as you flip. You want that skin crispy and caramelized, darling!
1. When the chicken’s almost done, throw those peach halves on the grill, cut side down. 3-4 minutes until you see those gorgeous grill marks.
1. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs because we’re fancy like that!
The result? Juicy chicken with a sweet-spicy glaze that’ll make your taste buds sing, paired with smoky-sweet peaches that’ll have everyone thinking you’re a gourmet chef (don’t worry, I won’t tell them how easy it was! 😉).
Pro tip: Serve this with a crisp white wine and some grilled ciabatta bread. You can thank me later!
