Brown Sugar Balsamic Grilled Chicken

Ingredients
- 1 lb. chicken breasts (about 3-4 medium breasts)
- 1/2 c. balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 c. olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. minced garlic (about 2-3 cloves)
- 1 tsp. ground pepper (several turns of the pepper grinder)
- salt, optional (about 1/2 tsp.)
For marinade:
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic and pepper. Reserve about 3 Tbsp. of the marinade and set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts into a resealable bag (or resealable container with lid), and pour the remainder of the marinade over the chicken. Coat chicken well and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- Heat grill to medium-high. Treat grill grates with olive oil, or non-stick grilling spray. (If using spray, be sure to turn OFF the grill, spray, and then turn back on.) Place chicken over indirect heat, and grill approximately 6 minutes (per side.) Once you turn the chicken, brush with the reserved balsamic marinade, and let it cook for its final 6 minutes.
- Remove chicken from grill, transfer to serving plate, and enjoy right away.
Notes
Be sure to check the chicken for doneness by either testing with a meat thermometer, insuring it has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees. You can also cut into the chicken - the meat is done when it is all white (no pink) and the juices run clear. You can also use other types of chicken pieces besides breasts - legs, thighs, and even wings are great with this marinade.
