Grilled Honey Lime Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, (plus zest from 1 lime)
• 2 garlic cloves, (pressed or minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup honey with 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, zest of 1 lime, 2 garlic cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

2. 2

   Combine the chicken thighs with the marinade. Place 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs in a gallon-size, re-sealable freezer bag. Pour in the marinade, seal the bag, and massage the chicken to coat with the marinade. Chill for 2 hours up to overnight.

3. 3

   Grill the chicken. Prepare the grill for direct cooking at high heat (450°F). Brush the cooking grates clean. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Place the chicken on the hot grates, cover with lid, and cook for 5-6 minutes until they easily release from the grates. Flip the chicken over, and cook for 4-5 minutes longer. Flip the chicken two more times, for about 2 minutes on each side, until the chicken is firm to the touch and registers 160°F internal temperature.

4. 4

   Rest. Remove from the grill and tent the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
