BUSH'S® ORANGE-BLACK PEPPER
CHICKEN
 
Zesty orange gives an unexpected twist on classic grilled chicken featuring BUSH’S® Sweet Mesquite Grillin’ Beans®.

For Marinade:

1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon light brown sugar

For Chicken:

2 chicken breasts (skin on or off)
2 chicken thighs
2 chicken legs
Salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 lemon, cut into wedges
1 (12-inch) sheet plastic wrap
1 can (21.5 oz.) BUSH’S® Sweet Mesquite Grillin’ Beans®

For Marinade: In large bowl, mix together orange juice, rosemary, pepper, salt and sugar.

For Chicken: Place chicken in large bowl of marinade, turn to evenly coat. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours to overnight.

Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry using paper towel, removing any excess marinade. Season both sides of chicken with salt and set aside.

Pour marinade into small saucepan. Set aside for later use.

Set one side of clean grill to medium-high heat and one side to low heat. (Note: If using charcoal grill, push coals to 1 side of grill.) Drizzle oil on both sides of chicken to prevent sticking.

Using tongs, place chicken on hotter side of grill, skin side down (if keeping skin on). Cook 3 minutes or until dark grill marks appear. Flip chicken using tongs and move to low heat side of grill. Cook 5 minutes or until internal temperature is at least 165°F. (Tip: Closely monitor chicken while grilling and move aside if flames rise-up.)

While chicken is cooking, add remaining sugar to saucepan with marinade. Simmer over low heat until marinade reduces by 1/3 in volume, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

With basting brush, coat one side of chicken with marinade and cook 45 seconds. Flip chicken using tongs. Coat second side of chicken with marinade and cook 45 seconds. Set remaining marinade aside.

Using tongs, remove chicken from grill and place on platter. Squeeze lemon wedges over chicken and top with remaining marinade.

Serve with BUSH’S Sweet Mesquite Grillin’ Beans.

Makes 3 servings.
