    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.
