Ingredients
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Place all the marinade ingredients and chicken into a gallon-sized zip-top bag.
- Seal the bag and shake it thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
- Lay the bag flat in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the chicken to the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Marinate overnight for the best flavor.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked.
Keep grill lid closed to retain heat and boost flavor.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
