Tips for making the best barbecue peach chicken:

Peach preserves. This ingredient is crucial in the chicken. It makes it so sweet and delicious. I love peaches, but who knew peach would pair so perfectly with chicken?

You could also use peach jam, or blended up peaches as well. This substance is a little more thick and sticky, so we have found that it works a little better, and clings to the chicken more.

Marinade the chicken for as long as you possibly can. We recommend marinating it for a good 24 hours before grilling it, just so it can really take on the sweet peach flavor.

I also love to add a little extra bbq sauce, just because I want my chicken to soak up as much flavor as it possibly can. The bbq and peach combo is so delicious.

The secret to moist and juicy chicken is low and slow. You will want to grill your chicken on low, for a longer amount of time.
You will love the flavor and texture of it.

Spread on extra glaze after you grill it. I am a total sauce person and usually dip every piece of chicken in sauce, but with this glaze, there is no need for that. It is the perfect chicken and sauce combo.

You will of course want to make a fresh marinade/sauce, and not use the one the raw chicken was sitting in.

I usually just mix a little of the peach preserves with some bbq sauce, and glaze it over the chicken with a basting brush once it is off the grill. So yummy.

Could I make this Chicken Recipe in the oven?

This recipe was designed to be made on the grill. The grill kind of caramelizes the peach and bbq sauce combination, making it taste absolutely amazing, however, you could bake this in the oven.

We definitely recommend grilling this chicken, but you could bake it at 325 for 25 minutes.

We also recommend placing a metal cooling rack on your pan (we would use a cookie sheet for this), and letting the juices drip though, so the chicken caramelizes on the outside, and isn’t so soggy.

Could I make Barbecue Peach Chicken using fresh peaches instead of peach preserves?

For this recipe, we used peach preserves, but you could definitely switch it up and use fresh peaches. We recommend blending up the peaches (taking out the pit of course) and adding it to the marinade mixture, to give it a fresh peach taste.
