Place the chicken breasts in a gallon-size resealable bag, pour half of the orange mixture over the chicken, and seal the bag while pressing out excess air. Ensure the chicken is well-coated with the mixture and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
3
In a small saucepan, heat the honey and barbecue sauce over medium heat until well combined. Stir in the remaining orange mixture and set aside.
4
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
5
Remove the chicken from the bag, discarding the used marinade. Grill the chicken breasts for 5 - 6 minutes per side.
6
Brush the honey-orange glaze on each side of the chicken and continue to grill for an additional 2 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred (internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit).
7
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with the remaining honey-orange glaze on the side.
