The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear

Why settle for low-temperature searing when you can achieve steakhouse-quality results with an Arteflame? Gas grills take longer, drying out your steak, while the Arteflame sears at 1000°F in just one minute, locking in juices for perfection.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and chili flakes (if using). Mix well.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for better flavor, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

3. Preheat the Arteflame:

   • Heat your Arteflame grill and get it ready for cooking.

4. Grill the Chicken:

   • Place the marinated chicken breasts directly on the grill grate and give the chicken a great sear. Then place the chicken breasts on the flat cooktop of the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the internal temperature reaches 150°F. Use a basting brush to apply extra marinade during the first few minutes of grilling.
   • Remember that the internal temperature of the chicken breast will keep rising to about 165°F even after you take them off the grill so be careful not to overcook them!

5. Serve:

   • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling. Slice and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot, ideally with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
• Brush the grill with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Variations

• Try adding lemon juice for a citrusy twist.
• Use maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper sweetness.
• Substitute chicken thighs for extra juiciness.

Best Pairings

• Grilled asparagus or zucchini.
• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Buttery mashed potatoes or rice.

Conclusion

This Honey Garlic Chicken recipe is perfect for those who love the combination of sweet and savory flavors, enhanced by the smoky aroma from the Arteflame grill. It’s simple, delicious, and sure to be a hit at your next barbecue.
