Everyone loved this recipe. I used apple jelly and heated the mixture up in the microwave to make it more manageable on the grill. I also brined my chicken in a gallon solution of 1 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup kosher salt for 24 hours before I started grilling. I cooked the chicken on the grill for 5 minutes on each side first then began adding the glaze to prevent burning. I saved some of the glaze right after making it to use as sauce before starting the grilling process. (Never use what touches the raw chicken of course.)

Used apple butter instead of jelly is the only change I made. Let it marinate for 2 hours. They house smelled amazing while this was cooking. But the taste was WAY OFF! Husband wouldn’t even eat his. Son only ate half. Won’t be making this one again… 🙁

I cooked and served this recipe as written. I went to 3 grocery stores in search of apple jelly too (it’s the time of supply chain issues)! It was pleasant but unexciting. With these ingredients I expected a sort of apple pie chicken breast but there was just a bit of sweet/tart flavor. I wonder if marinating it in the glaze as one reviewer did would improve the flavor. I also looked up a recipe for southern honey rice suggested by one reviewer, it was a nice accompaniment.

I made this and it was a hit for flavor. I doubled the sauce quantity. The cook time is way too long! 9-10 minutes each side in oven or less till juices run clear or 165 degrees. Did not cook on grill. I followed another reviewer that said cook an hour, turn halfway through, but shortened to 20 mins per side. I had pounded the breasts to 1/2″ thick, so cooked faster and were chewy, not tender. From cooking in oven, got watery as chicken cooked. glad I doubled sauce recipe.

It was a great meal. I substituted Apple Butter for the Jelly and it was awesome
Kelsey Park
It was great!
Misty Silva
I baked mine in the oven and made the sauce the night before.

My family adored this dish! I followed the recipe to the letter, but cooked it on my stovetop instead, it made the chicken so tender and juicy. Great combination of flavours!

I could not find Apple Jelly, so I used apple butter. I think it came out ok. I give this recipe a 4/5 stars
Vickie Sanchez
It wasn’t bad but it didn’t have a lot of flavor, I tasted mainly cinnamon. I am going to try this again on pork. I think the sweetness will work better with pork.

This was yummy. Sure messed up my bbq grill, but prompted me to buy a mesh, non-stick screen for the next time!

My super picky husband loved this.

Turned out great

I used chicken tenders and they were delicious. I would make this recipe again..
Brian Owens
The entire family loved this, to include the kids ages 12, 11, 4, and 3! Thanks for a great recipe.
Laura Fuentes
Super easy to make. Used an oven at 400 to cook it instead of a grill. The taste didn’t get all the way thru when the chicken is whole so I think chopping up the chicken and using the glaze as a marinade would work better.
Samantha Jackson
Best recipe I’ve made so far! I lack a grill so I followed the advice of the other commenters and baked it at 350 for about an hour, flipping and reapplying the glaze halfway through. Finding apple jelly was a chore, but totally worth it. Sweet and savory.
Kelly Hernandez
Not as much flavor as I expected. Needed more salt and less sweet.
Kim Morgan
