Grilled Hot Honey Chicken Thighs
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp poultry rub your favorite, or my blend
- ½ cup hot honey BBQ sauce or hot honey
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Set up the grill for two-zone cooking at 385 to 400°F.
- Trim excess skin from the thighs, pat dry, coat lightly with olive oil, and season on all sides.
- Place the thighs skin side down over direct heat for about 3 minutes, until the skin is charred and beginning to crisp.
- Flip the thighs and move them to indirect heat, or a warming rack on the grill. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 180° F, about 25 to 35 minutes.
- Brush the thighs generously with hot honey sauce. Close the lid and cook three more minutes, until the glaze sets and the chicken reaches 185° F internal.
- Serve over optional creamy polenta, topped with optional pickled red onions and chopped parsley, with extra sauce on the side.
