Tobblin's Green-Curry Honey BBQ Chicken

Want a very simple, yet very tasty and spicy Chicken BBQ?
Lets go over your ingredients!
Large flat, deep skillet
4 to 5 chicken breasts, unboned.
Some Thai Green Curry paste. (teaspoon) ( Green Curry can make a wonderful spice if properly used. )
Some apple juice (sparkling if you have it ) about 16oz, and about 16oz of water.
Large bowl.
Jar of honey ( preferably a squeeze bottle for easy handling )

Take your apple juice and water, put it in the bowl, stirr in one teaspoon of green curry paste.
Place your chicken in the bowl, and find a saucer small enough to fit inside the top of the bowl, and press down until juice rises above the plate, and weight it down with a can of something.
place in the refrigerator for about an hour, take the juices left over, and put them in your large skillet add in the pieces of chicken, bring them to a simmer til they are nearly evaporating, be sure to turn them occasionally, you are basically boiling the chicken, precooking it before the grill now, so you wont have any rawness. Let them brown in the carmelization of the juices on the bottom of your pan when the juices finally evaporate.
If you did not have enough juice, while boiling the chicken, mix up some of the apple juice, and water with a bit more green curry paste, and add more to the pan.
When all the chicken pieces have a nice glaze look to them and they are cooked all the way through, take them out to your grill, drizzle honey with your squeeze bottle on top of each piece, and let them smoke/bbq a bit, turn them over and repeat.

The green curry should have enough salt content in it to be more than enough for this dish, if you feel necessary, you can add in a sprinkle of salt before you glaze them with the honey.

Serve these extremely spicy chicken breasts with a nice green salad, and a rice dish or cous cous, of your choice.
