Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe on the Arteflame Grill

This Honey Garlic Chicken recipe brings out the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The seared chicken locks in the juices, while the honey-garlic glaze caramelizes beautifully on the Arteflame grill, giving you a rich, flavorful dish.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for the grill)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional Garnishes:

  • Sesame seeds
  • Fresh lemon slices

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Arteflame Grill

Start by lighting your Arteflame grill. Pour vegetable oil on three paper towels, place them at the bottom of the grill, and stack firewood over them. Light the paper towels to get the fire going. In 20 minutes, the center grill grate will be over 1,000°F, and the surrounding flat griddle will be ready for perfect cooking.

2. Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let it rest while you prepare the honey garlic glaze.

3. Make the Honey Garlic Glaze

In a bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and melted butter. Stir until everything is well combined.

4. Sear the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts or thighs on the center grill grate for 2-3 minutes per side to achieve a beautiful golden sear and seal in the juices.

5. Cook on the Flat Griddle

After searing, move the chicken to the flat top griddle to finish cooking. Brush the chicken with the honey garlic glaze and allow it to cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping and brushing with glaze occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. This slow caramelization on the flat cooktop ensures the chicken absorbs all the rich honey and garlic flavors without burning.

6. Rest and Serve

Remove the chicken from the grill when it reaches 160°F and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, sesame seeds, or fresh lemon slices for added flavor.

Tips:

  • Control the heat zones on the Arteflame: Sear at the center for crispiness and move to the outer flat top for even cooking.
  • For a deeper flavor, allow the honey to caramelize slightly on the chicken before removing it from the grill.

5 Variations:

  1. Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken: Add 1 tsp of chili flakes to the glaze for a spicy kick.
  2. Citrus Honey Garlic Chicken: Mix fresh lemon juice into the glaze for a zesty twist.
  3. Ginger Honey Garlic Chicken: Add 1 tbsp grated ginger to the honey garlic sauce for extra warmth and spice.
  4. Balsamic Honey Garlic Chicken: Swap out soy sauce with balsamic vinegar for a tangy depth of flavor.
  5. Honey Mustard Garlic Chicken: Mix 2 tbsp Dijon mustard into the glaze for a sweet and tangy contrast.

Best Pairings:

  • Grilled asparagus
  • Roasted baby potatoes with rosemary
  • Grilled zucchini with lemon
  • Fresh cucumber and tomato salad
