Use this recipe for How to Grill Jalapeño Haskap Chicken to try something new and different to treat your chicken.
The spicy flavor of jalapeño & haskap berries go along so perfectly to give you an exciting glaze for chicken.
As the glaze caramelizes on the grill and/or in the oven, it lends a gorgeous color to the chicken skin and tastes unbelievably delicious. Sweet, tangy & spicy chicken never hurt anybody!
Grilled Jalapeño Haskap Chicken:
In this recipe I’m using Haskapa Jalapeño Haskap Relish, which contains haskap berries, jalapeño pepper, Thai chilis, cider vinegar and sugar.
The haskap berry imparts fabulous flavor to any dish. The Haskapa brand is out of Nova Scotia and they have a fabulous line of products that contain the haskap berry.
I have tried these products and each one is better than the last so I can’t choose a favorite. I hope you make a point of acquainting yourself with the Haskapa products. You can find them online:
The haskap berry bush originated in Russia and is now grown in most of the Canadian provinces. Haskap is a purplish berry, oval in shape and about an inch long, with sweet crimson flesh that is perfect for jams, relish, chutney and juice.
The wine I am using is a Rancourt Winery 2012 Malbec, single varietal, limited vintage wine from a beautiful boutique winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Check them out online:
