Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Quarters (leg and thigh attached)
  • 1 Lemon
  • 3/4 Cup Peach Jam
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes 
  • Splash of ACV
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 peach cut into wedges (optional)
  • 1 jalapeño sliced or diced (optional)

Instructions

  • At least 4 hours before cooking marinate chicken.
  • Pat dry chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a bowl, mix peach jam, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and ACV. Add chicken to the bowl cover, and put in fridge. Marinate the chicken over night for added flavor. 
  • When ready to cook chicken, preheat oven to 375. With the stove on high, heat olive oil in a cast iron pan.
  • Once the pan is hot, put chicken quarters in the pan presentation (smooth/nice) side down. Sear for about 5 minutes or until slightly charred.
  • Flip chicken over, add the remaining marinade to the pan, and put the cast iron pan in oven.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, then take out, and add jalapeños and fresh peaches (optional) to the pan.
  • Put back in oven for an additional 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Broil on high for about 2 minutes if you want the peaches to cook through more.
  • Let sit for about 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
