If you want to grill chicken faster, choose chicken halves instead of whole ones. Not only do they cook faster, but this method also results in a more evenly crispy skin. A pepper jelly glaze with fresh rosemary infuses the chicken with a piquant flavor and makes it incredibly appetizing.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 chicken halves (about 1.3 kg total)
1 jar (280 g) red jalapeño jelly (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Vegetable oil, for frying
Grilled potatoes, for serving

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken. In another bowl, combine the pepper jelly, vinegar, and rosemary.
Brush the grill grate with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken halves skin-side up for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken over and grill until the skin is darkened by the grill marks, about 10 minutes more.

Flip the chicken again and brush the skin with the pepper jelly mixture. Continue roasting, brushing every 10 minutes, reserving some of the sauce for serving, until a thermometer inserted into the thigh, away from the bone, registers 165°F (74°C), about 20 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into portions and serve with the remaining sauce.
