Kitchen Coaching: Not your traditional BBQ. Peach Glazed Wings &. Peach Mango Glazed Chicken

I love visiting New Jersey, its always a good time catching up with my Together AsOne family.  Tsihai and I  were planning a play date with the guys for after work. The conversation went something like this:

Tsihai: Can we bring anything?...food, snacks, drinks?
Me:   I was thinking we can throw some stuff on the grill keep it simple
Tsihai: Perfect!  Did Mike tell you about the peach glazed wings he made on the grill thinking that's a good one for your site...spin on traditional bbq
Me: He made that..hes holding out ! Would Mike mind being video taped, after a long day of work. I'll cook he  supervise?
Tsihai: oh, so you making the food but he's guiding you?
Me: :) Bingo!  It works in reverse too, ill call it light summer entertaining with Chef Chiz
Tsihai: oh he'll love that..he can wear his apron and everything

{Please note: If you tell me what you made, some how you may end up on the “The Gourmet Diva YouTube Channel)

Long story short Mike aka “Chef Chiz” volunteered to help the Gourmet Diva out.  I love you guys!
After a long day of work, Mike came prepared to throw down in the kitchen.  I can describe the session like osmosis, Mike was enjoying himself in the kitchen and I watched and asked questions along the way absorbing everything he was doing.  The dish was simple, some garlic, soy sauce, peach preserve, and ginger. As Mike said “That it,”. The end product was tasty.  I felt inspired, once again fruit and meat.

I went to the store to find the peach preserve but I found peach mango peserve.  YES!!!! Peach mango glaze with a mango chutney, that can work.   I wanted the fruit taste to come out in the chicken so the other ingredients had to be studdle.  If you want to know what I used, and how I prepared it look below. End product was fantastic. I packed up a leftover piece to give to Mr. Honest Opinion for some feedback. 

So remember: FRUIT and MEAT = Gourmet Diva – Thx Steph M for the chicken and orange kabob last week, chicken and orange on a skewer, perfect the orange taste was in the chicken.
