Nif's Honey Grilled Chicken Thighs
"A sweet, but not too sweet, marinade with an Asian twist. This marinade would work with any chicken pieces and probably pork or salmon, but I had the thighs in the fridge! Easy to put together and great with rice and veggies. Enjoy!"

Delish! I took a little 'poetic license' with this recipe (hope you don't mind, Nif), and would like to share my experiment with you...I marinated this, then cut into chunks, and cooked in the wok. I added the marinade and the chicken, so it was glazed and sticky, when finished. So nice and simple, this makes a tasty chicken dish, no matter how you fix it! Made for Best of 2010 tag game. Thanks for sharing, Nif. -
I made this on my indoor grill and it was simply fantastic! the chicken was so moist and flavorful, I also added in 1 tablespoon crushed chili flakes, and 3 large chopped garlic cloves, I look forward to making this outside this summer, thank you for sharing this great recipe Nif! -
Excellent sweet flavor. We enjoyed this on our RV trip with some potatoes wedges and corn on the cob. DH wasn't too happy with the clean up of the grill. The honey caramelizes and sticks pretty good. Next time I plan to cook on foil punched full of holes to see if that helps. Thanks for posting. :) -
Very yummy! I let the chicken in the marinade at least 6 hours. I omitted the sesame seed, that's the only think I omitted. Thanks Nif :) Made for Market tag -
Very nice flavor. The marinade reminded me a lot of Yoshi's.

This was excellent! I cooked it in the oven instead of on the grill and it was moist and full of flavor. Even my picky 10 year old liked it. I did make a few changes - I used olive oil instead of sesame oil (had olive oil on hand), omitted the sesame seeds (afraid it would be too messy if we used the grill) and instead of ground black pepper, used a few dashes of crushed red pepper. I sprayed a 9x13 glass dish really well and cooked it in the oven. It did not stick at all and clean up was also easy. It was quick and easy! Both my kids told me to make it again soon.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
