Are there any variations to this recipe?
Certainly! This recipe can be easily adapted to suit different tastes. For a twist on the glaze, you can use raspberries or blueberries instead of blackberries, adjusting the sweetness as needed. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can reduce the amount of Dijon mustard or omit it altogether. For a touch of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze. Additionally, you can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts or pork chops, though cooking times may vary.
Can this recipe be made on an outdoor grill?
Yes, you can make this recipe on an outdoor grill for a delightful smoky flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the thighs, turning occasionally and basting with glaze, until they reach an internal temperature of 170°F, about 20-25 minutes. To avoid flare-ups, keep a close eye on the chicken and use indirect heat if necessary.

For a Low-Carb option, serve it alongside a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts.
