Description

This Sticky Honey Orange Grilled Chicken recipe offers a delightful balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are marinated in a vibrant mixture of honey, fresh orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, and chili flakes, then grilled to juicy perfection and finished with a luscious, slightly thickened glaze. Perfect for a quick, flavorful dinner that impresses.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Marinade

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup pure honey
  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tsp chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, fresh orange juice, minced garlic, and chili flakes until well combined to form the flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish, pour in the marinade, ensuring the chicken is well coated, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F, preparing for cooking the chicken evenly and creating nice char marks.
  4. Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Cook each side for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a nice charred exterior.
  5. Make the glaze: While the chicken grills, pour the leftover marinade into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the marinade thickens slightly, creating a sticky glaze.
  6. Serve: Plate the grilled chicken breasts and drizzle the thickened honey orange glaze over them for a sweet, tangy finish that’s sure to delight.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for longer (up to 2 hours) for more intense flavor.
  • Use fresh orange juice for the best taste; bottled juice may affect sweetness and acidity.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken under a broiler or on a grill pan on the stovetop.
  • Adjust chili flakes to control spiciness according to your preference.
