Plan ahead! This recipe requires marinade time.

Wash and rinse chicken, set aside. Lightly spray peaches with olive oil, set aside.

Combine marinade ingredients and whisk well. Reserve 1/4-1/2 cup for basting. Add chicken and remaining marinade to a ziplock bag and marinate for at least 2 hours.

Remove chicken and discard marinade.

When ready to cook, start the Traeger on Smoke with the lid open until a fire is established (4-5 minutes). Turn temperature to 350 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Add chicken and peaches to grill. Turn chicken once halfway through cook time. Baste chicken with remaining marinade for the last five minutes.

Chicken is done when an internal thermometer reaches 170 degrees. About 25-30 minutes. Pull peaches off when heated through. Pull chicken off, sprinkle with fresh basil and allow to set for two minutes.

Slice each peach halve into thirds and serve with chicken.

Note: You can double the marinade recipe and use the extra as a sauce for the chicken. Just heat all ingredients to boiling and allow to thicken. Enjoy!
