# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Chicken with Marinade
01 -
2.5 g red pepper flakes (optional, adds spiciness)
02 -
2.5 g ground black pepper
03 -
5 g salt
04 -
5 g smoked paprika
05 -
10 g garlic powder
06 -
5 g onion powder
07 -
30 ml apple cider vinegar
08 -
60 ml olive oil
09 -
60 ml hot honey
10 -
900 g chicken thighs, no bones or skin
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
If you want, pour a little more hot honey on right before eating.
02 -
Move the grilled chicken to a plate. Don’t touch it for 5 minutes so it stays juicy.
03 -
Lay chicken on the grill after letting the marinade drip off. Toss out whatever’s left in the bowl. Grill each piece for 6–7 minutes, flipping once, until the middle reads 74°C.
04 -
Heat up the grill to around medium-high. Scrub and oil the grates first.
05 -
Put the chicken in and make sure it’s totally covered with the marinade. Cover it, then let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour, or leave it up to 8 if you want it extra tasty.
06 -
Mix together hot honey, olive oil, vinegar, garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a big bowl with a whisk.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Want more smoky vibes? Drop in a tiny bit of liquid smoke to the marinade.
02 -
Dial down the heat by using regular honey instead of hot. If you still want a little kick, add just a pinch of cayenne.
