  1. 1

    Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and coat all sides with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Combine chili powder, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and white pepper in a small bowl and mix well.

  3. 3

    Rub the spice mixture on the chicken pieces, see note.

  4. 4

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high and clean the grates.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, stir the peach preserves, hoisin sauce, grated ginger, garlic powder, Sriracha, and lime zest together in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Cook, stirring, until the preserves melt and the ingredients are well blended, about 3 to 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    (You will use half of the peach glaze during the last minutes of cooking the chicken and reserve the other half until ready to serve).

  8. 8

    When the grill is ready, saturate a paper towel with cooking oil and use tongs to oil the grates.

  9. 9

    Grill the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature is about 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer.

  10. 10

    Brush the chicken with the peach glaze and grill 1 minute more, then turn the chicken and brush glaze on the other side.

  11. 11

    Continue grilling and turning until the chicken reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

  12. 12

    Remove to a plate and cover with foil; during the rest, residual heat will raise the internal temperature to 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  13. 13

    Meanwhile, grill the peaches: using tongs, place the peach halves cut side down on the hot grates and grill just until grill marks appear, 1 to 2 minutes.

    To serve, place the chicken and peach halves on a serving plate and brush with the reserved glaze.

  15. 15

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
