Hot Honey Grilled Chicken Thighs with Sweet Chili Glaze & Dipping Sauce
Serves: 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20–22 minutes
Ingredients
Chicken
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
¾ cup Pig Beach Hot Honey BBQ Seasoning (recipe below)
Sweet Chili Glaze
½ cup honey
¼ cup sriracha
¼ cup Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce
1 tablespoon sambal
¼ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
For Serving
¼ cup sliced scallions
¼ cup cilantro leaves
6 lime wedges
Directions
1. Preheat the grill: Set up the grill for two-zone cooking with one side over medium-high heat and the other over low heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates.
2. Season the chicken: Coat the chicken thighs evenly with the Pig Beach Hot Honey BBQ Seasoning. Let them rest for 10–15 minutes while the grill heats.
3. Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, sweet chili sauce, sambal, Old Bay Seasoning, cumin, and coriander until smooth.
4. Grill the chicken: Place the chicken over the medium-high heat zone and grill for 6–8 minutes per side, or until nicely browned with grill marks and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
5. Glaze the chicken: Move the chicken to the low-heat zone and brush generously with the sweet chili glaze.
6. Finish cooking: Continue grilling for about 5 minutes, turning and brushing with more glaze as needed, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
7. Garnish and serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish with the scallions, cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve with the remaining sweet chili glaze on the side for dipping.
