Terlingua Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    8 canned jalapeno peppers (whole)
    1/4 cup jalapeno juice (from canned jalapeno peppers)
    2 cups white corn syrup
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Preparation
    Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
    Remove jalapenos with a slotted spoon. Refrigerate the jalapenos. Let syrup mixture cool and place in the refrigerator.
    When the syrup mixture is totally cooled, pout 1 1/2 cups of the syrup over the chicken breasts. Marinate the chicken for 1 hour. The remaining syrup will be used for basting. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the liquid. Grill the chicken 3-5 minutes on each side, basting with reserved syrup mixture during cooking. Transfer to the serving platter and garnish with the candied jalapenos.
