Cup of Yum
To make the honey barbecue sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup barbecue sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika and ¼ teaspoon chili powder. Brush sauce on both sides of the chicken - reserving enough for later. Sprinkle with half of the 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
To grill the chicken
- Lift the sides of the foil over the chicken and seal to close off the packets. Place foil packets onto grill and grill on medium high heat for 7-8 minutes, then flip over and grill for an additional 7-9 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from the grill and carefully open the foil packets. Brush chicken with reserved sauce and top with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
