Sticky Grilled Chicken

This chicken did not turn out like I had envisioned it.  It tasted WONDERFUL, so that was not the problem.  The problem is how it looks.  Oh, it looks good, but not the way I pictured it.  It was supposed to be caramelized looking.... sticky looking.....   That obviously did not happen.  A fault I cannot give to anything or anyone but myself.  Just a few amateur mistakes is all.. no biggie.  That aside, this was absolutely delicious!  Simple, easy, and if you follow the recipe that Mary (One Perfect Bite) actually posted, you'll get a much better looking result :)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon Chinese five spice
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions:
In a measuring cup, add the marmalade and microwave about 10 seconds, or until it mixes easily.  Add all remaining ingredients, except the chicken, and stir until well combined.  Remove 2 Tablespoons of mixture and set aside.  Place chicken in resealable bag and pour remaining marinade over it.  Seal bag and place in refrigerator for 4 hours.

Preheat grill to 375 degrees F.  Clean and oil grill grates.  Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.  Place chicken over direct heat and grill for 5 minutes and then flip chicken and allow to cook another 5 minutes.  Baste the chicken with the sauce mixture, flip and grill another 3 minutes.  Baste the chicken again, flip and grill another 2 minutes or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.  Remove from grill and allow to rest before serving.  Enjoy!
