📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl or freezer bag. Remove 1/4 cup (to use later to baste chicken). Add chicken to marinade, turn to coat, cover and marinate in the refrigerator ⏱️ 4-8 hours.
2
When ready to cook, let chicken sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 15-30 minutes.
3
GRILL DIRECTIONS
4
Generously grease and preheat the grill to medium heat, 375 degrees F.
5
Grill chicken, covered for ⏱️ 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 175 degrees F for thighs, 165 F for breasts.)
6
Bush chicken with reserved marinade and let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving.
7
OVEN DIRECTIONS
8
Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
9
Add chicken to baking sheet so they aren’t touching.
10
Bake at 375 degrees F for ⏱️ 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F for thighs, 165 F for breasts. Bush chicken with reserved marinade and let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving.
11
Let chicken rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before slicing.
12
SKILLET DIRECTIONS
13
The chicken will char more due to honey so I recommend using an indoor grill pan. Grease an indoor grill pan or heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
14
Working in batches, remove chicken from marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Add chicken and cook, undisturbed for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes, or until nicely browned on one side.
15
Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook approximately 3-5 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate/cutting board. Bush chicken with reserved marinade and let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving.
