Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use long-handled tongs while grilling your chicken to protect your hands from the heat.
  • tip 2
    Serve your grilled honey chicken thighs with warm cooked white rice and steamed edamame. To save time, you can purchase frozen pre-cooked rice and frozen edamame pods, which can both be prepared quickly in the microwave. Drain the edamame pods and sprinkle with flaky salt before serving.
  • tip 3
    Resist the urge to brush the chicken with the honey mixture until the last couple of minutes of grilling. As a general grilling rule, sweet sauces will burn if applied too early.
