Description
Juicy marinated grilled chicken thighs infused with honey, spices, and a savory marinade, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs into a large zip-top bag.
- Add the honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bag.
- Press out excess air, seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade around the chicken until evenly coated.
- Lay the bag flat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For maximum flavor, marinate for several hours or overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it directly onto the hot grill.
- Grill for 4–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until the chicken is fully cooked and nicely charred.
- Remove from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating overnight. Serve with grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a fresh salad.
