Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey, (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1 garlic clove, (minced)
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 6 ears of sweet corn, (kernels cut from the cob)
  • 2 green onions, (thinly sliced)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
  • kosher salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken in a glass dish or resealable bag. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, hot honey, lemon zest, garlic and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Pour it over the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the grill to the highest setting. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken easily flips. Flip the chicken and grill for 5 to 6 minutes more, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with extra hot honey.

  3. 3

    To make the corn salad, place the corn, green onions and cilantro in a bowl.

  4. 4

    In a smaller bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, zest, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the sour cream mixture into the corn until combined. Taste and season more if needed.

  5. 5

    Serve the chicken with the corn and enjoy!
