Instructions

Glaze

  • Rinse and pick 3 cups of grapes from stems. Blend in blender until smooth. (You will see little flecks of the skin still).
  • Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook another 3 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add pureed grapes, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and rosemary. Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes until mixture is thick like a commercial BBQ sauce. Cool slightly and blend in blender till smooth.
  • Can be made a day ahead.

Chicken

  • Heat grill. Add rosemary, salt and pepper to olive oil. Brush over chicken.
  • Grill chicken over medium heat. Baste with sauce. Cover and allow to cook 5 minutes. Flip breasts, baste again and cover. Repeat basting and turning every 5 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. Try to use all the glaze. Discard any left over. Keep cover closed except for turning and basting. Taste for doneness after 25 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from grill, over loosely for 5 minutes and serve.
