Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Basting brush
  • Large mixing bowl

Method

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over the top, making sure each piece of chicken is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  7. Divide the cooked rice among four plates and top each with sliced chicken. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can also bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • For a spicier version of this recipe, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • This dish can also be served with a side of steamed vegetables, such as broccoli or green beans.
