Grilled Chicken Thighs in Honey Marinade

A honey marinade works wonders on chicken thighs. Honey, mustard and soy sauce caramelize on the hot grill into a glossy crust, while the meat stays juicy right down to the bone. A few hours in the marinade is all it takes to turn ordinary thighs into the star of a garden party. These grilled chicken thighs smell of caramel, garlic and smoke from the grate.

Ingredients

4portions
Honey marinade
Meat and seasoning

Step by step process

Marinade

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and score the skin a few times so the marinade soaks deeper into the meat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the honey, mustard, soy sauce, crushed garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Stir into a smooth, glossy marinade.

Marinating

  1. 3

    Add the thighs to the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover and let them rest in the fridge for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.

  2. 4

    An hour before grilling, take the meat out so it warms to room temperature. Salt and pepper it just before it goes on the grate.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Heat the grill to medium. Lay the thighs skin side down and grill for 6 minutes, until a golden crust forms on the skin.

  2. 6

    Turn them over and brush with the remaining marinade. Grill for another 15 to 18 minutes, until a thermometer at the bone reads 75 degrees and the juices run clear.

  3. 7

    Transfer the finished thighs to a board and let them rest for 5 minutes. Only then serve them, so the meat keeps its juices.

More tips:

Honey burns quickly on the grill. Turn the meat more often and save the final brush of marinade for the very end of grilling.

If you don't have a thermometer, pierce the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear with no pink traces, it's done.
