Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Chicken Thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 0.75 cup Honey raw, organic preferred
- 0.5 cup Soy Sauce low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar for tang
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prepare the marinade by mixing honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage gently to coat the chicken evenly.
- Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for at least 2 hours, or overnight for even better flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates slightly to avoid sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Dispose of the used marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until well-cooked and caramelized. Ensure the internal temperature is 165°F.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
This honey glazed chicken is excellent served with steamed vegetables or a crisp garden salad. For extra flavor, garnish with fresh chopped herbs like parsley or thyme. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
