Ingredients
hot honey chicken
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons hot honey, plus more for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- kosher salt and pepper
corn salad
- 6 ears of sweet corn, kernels cut from the cob
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
- kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a glass dish or resealable bag. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, hot honey, lemon zest, garlic and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Pour it over the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
- Preheat the grill to the highest setting. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken easily flips. Flip and the chicken and grill for 5 to 6 minutes more, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with extra hot honey.
- To make the corn salad, place the corn, green onions and cilantro in a bowl.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, zest, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the sour cream mixture into the corn until combined. Taste and season more if needed.
- Serve the chicken with the corn and enjoy!
