This was great. We all loved it and will make it again. We used skin on thighs, but I did debone them. A little extra work but well worth it. The cook time... well, I make sure the chicken is done.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The glaze on this simple-to-make grilled chicken is great. It's sweet and savory with a little bit of a kick. The spice, though, can be controlled by the amount of red pepper flakes added. Brushing the chicken at the end of the cooking process allows the honey glaze to caramelize a bit from the heat from the grill (but not burn). A great dinner option to throw on the grill during warmer weather when you don't want to heat up the kitchen.

How To Make honey-glazed grilled chicken thighs

Test Kitchen Tips

While this is for chicken thighs, you can use any cut of chicken. We did have to grill our chicken slightly longer.

Step 1

Heat gas or charcoal grill. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes (if you use them), and garlic; blend well with a wire whisk. Set aside.

Step 2

Brush chicken thighs with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 3

When the grill is heated, place the chicken on a gas grill over medium heat or on a charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook covered for 8 to 12 minutes or until juice is clear when the center of the thickest part is cut (180°F); turning once.
Step 4

Brush with honey mixture during the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
