Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg (about 2 lbs) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) hot honey
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) olive oil
- 300 g (2 cups) fresh corn kernels
- 1 medium red onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- A handful of cilantro, roughly chopped
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by combining hot honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Marinade the chicken by adding chicken thighs and ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, aiming for about 200°C (400°F).
- Grill the chicken skin-side down for 6-8 minutes or until the skin is crispy.
- Flip the chicken and brush with remaining hot honey marinade. Grill for another 6-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Prepare the corn salad by mixing corn, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Serve the grilled chicken warm with corn salad on the side.
Notes
