Ingredients 

MARINADE
2-2/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup brandy
1/3 cup honey
2-1/2 cups frozen corn
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
CHICKEN
3 to 4 (2-1/2 pounds) Gold'n Plump® Bone-In Chicken Breasts

Instructions 

To make marinade, stir together wine, brandy, and honey in medium saucepan. Add remaining ingredients; cover and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside and cool to room temperature.

Transfer marinade to a zip-seal plastic bag. Add chicken and seal bag. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, for at least 30 minutes or for up to 24 hours.

When you are ready to cook, prepare grill. Position grill rack about 6 inches above coals.

Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade.

Place chicken, skin side up, on grill rack over glowing coals. Grill for about 12 to 15 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked.

Tips 

If it’s in season, use fresh corn in the marinade. Cook first, then slice the kernels from about 5 ears. Accompany this recipe with corn and rice salad.
