Minced Garlic: 1 tablespoon (adjust to taste)
-
Poultry Perfection Chicken Rub: 2 tablespoons

Apple Corer: For creating holes in the chicken breasts
Directions
Cut Chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half.
Core Chicken: Use an apple corer to create holes in the chicken pieces. Retain the plugs for marinating as well.
Prepare the Marinade:
In a large marinating bag, combine:
½ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons Poultry Perfection chicken rub
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chopped)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Marinate the Chicken:
Add Chicken: Place the cored chicken breasts and plugs into the marinating bag.
Coat Chicken: Seal the bag and mix thoroughly to ensure all chicken pieces are well-coated.
Refrigerate: Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor infusion.
Grill the Chicken:
Preheat Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill.
Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Turn occasionally to avoid burning and to ensure even cooking.
Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Rest Chicken: Let the grilled chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.
Serve: Enjoy the flavorful, juicy grilled chicken breasts with your favorite sides.

Recipe Note
Tips:
Coring the Chicken: This method helps the marinade penetrate deeply, tenderizing the meat and infusing it with flavor.
Cooking Plugs: Grill the chicken plugs alongside the chicken pieces as tasty chicken nuggets.
Adjusting Spice Level: Add more or fewer chipotle peppers to adjust the heat level to your preference.
