Gwyneth Paltrow's Grilled Chicken with Peach BBQ Sauce
Paltrow prepares one batch of this barbecue sauce with adobo to share with her husband and finishes another with soy sauce for the kids. "You can use it on basically anything grilled," she says. Two things to remember: The chicken tastes best when cooked on a grill so you get that char. To amplify flavor, Paltrow marinates the meat in some of the sauce before grilling, then lacquers the chicken again on the grill just before serving.

Preparation

Step 1

Preparation

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer until peaches are very soft and flavors meld, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat; let cool. Pour peach mixture into a blender and purée until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place half the sauce in a medium bowl; add the chicken and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, or cover and chill for up to 8 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.

Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill rack with oil. Grill chicken until browned and almost cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side. Brush on all sides with reserved sauce; grill until glazed and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Slice crosswise. Serve remaining sauce alongside.
