Scale

To make the best Sweet Heat Grilled Chicken Thighs, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken thighs in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, hot sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Grill the chicken thighs skin-side down for 7-10 minutes, flip, and grill for another 7-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
