How to Make Citrus & Chipotle Barbecue Glaze

1. Combine Citrus Base

Combine the orange zest, orange juice, minced chipotle chile, shallot, and thyme in a small saucepan.

2. Prepare Molasses Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together the molasses and cornstarch until smooth.

3. Combine and Simmer

Pour the molasses mixture into the saucepan with the citrus base and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and becomes glossy.

4. Season and Serve

Once the glaze has thickened, season with salt to taste. Reserve half for serving, and use a brush to apply the remaining half to your grilled bone-in chicken breasts.
