Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Lightly oil grate with vegetable oil. Place chicken, skin side down, over direct heat and grill, turning every minute, until lightly browned, 7–⏱️ 10 minutes. Move chicken over indirect heat, cover, and grill, turning every ⏱️ 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of a thigh registers 165°, 20–⏱️ 25 minutes.

Just before the chicken is done, remove zest from 1 lime in wide strips with a vegetable peeler and place zest in a small saucepan. Slice lime in half and set aside. Add 2 Tbsp. honey and 1 tsp. mild red pepper flakes (such as Aleppo-style or Urfa biber) to pan and set on grill over indirect heat. Cook, swirling, until honey is loose and warmed through, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Brush glaze all over chicken. Transfer chicken to a platter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let rest 5–⏱️ 10 minutes.
