Directions:
Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry and place in a single layer in shallow dish.
For the Garlic Cilantro Pesto: Place all ingredients in food processor or blender and process to form a pesto. Spread over both sides of chicken, cover, and marinate in refrigerator one hour.
To prepare Sweet and Spicy Sauce: Place sugar, water, corn syrup, vinegar, garlic and salt in saucepan. Stir to dissolve sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is reduced and slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and add oil, cayenne, and crushed red pepper. Cool to room temperature.
Preheat charcoal or gas grill and lightly coat with oil or cooking spray. Place chicken, skin-side up, on prepared grill, 4 to 6 inches from heat source. Grill, turning occasionally, about 45 minutes or until temperature on meat thermometer is 170 degrees and juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Serve with Sweet and Spicy Sauce.
