This Grilled Hot Honey Chicken is juicy, tangy, a little spicy, and totally irresistible. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or just want something exciting to throw on the grill, this chicken is about to become your new warm-weather go-to.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breast
- 2 large Limes (juice of)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced, divided)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Sea salt + black pepper
- 2/3 cup Honey*
- 2 tbsp Hot sauce**
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup Coconut aminos
- Fresh cilantro for serving
Instructions
- Heat up a gas grill to medium high or a charcoal grill. While grill is heating, make the marinade. Add the juice of limes, half the garlic, and oil to a container or ziploc bag with the chicken. Let sit for about 15 - 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the hot honey sauce. In a small saucepan, heat honey, hot sauce, coconut aminos, dijon mustard, and the remaining garlic. Heat to a low boil, and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until mixture begins to thicken. Keep an eye on it and continue to whisk every few minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Once the grill is hot, add the chicken and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Cook for 6 - 8 minutes per side, or until the thickest part of the chicken is cooked to 165 degrees F. After you flip the chicken, brush the top with a little of the hot honey sauce.
- When chicken is completely cooked, spoon the hot honey sauce on top and serve. I love the addition of fresh cilantro, but it is also good without!
Notes
*can use hot honey or regular honey with hot sauce
**I use buffalo hot sauce. If you don't want it to be too spicy, do not add in addition to hot honey. Only use with regular honey. I like mine extra spicy and use both the hot honey and buffalo sauce!
