  • 2 cups fresh blackberries, crushed
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Notes

Don't skip the marinating step; it's crucial for flavor. Pat the chicken dry before grilling for a perfect sear. Adjust sweetness or acidity in the glaze to taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently. Leftover glaze keeps for up to a week in the fridge and can be used as a topping for desserts.
