Spicy Honey Chicken Marinade

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, garlic, red pepper, salt, vinegar, and sriracha until combined.

Step 2

Add the chicken to the marinade and turn it in it until covered with the marinade or add the chicken to a resealable bag and pour the marinade over to cover. Marinate the chicken 30 minutes - 24 hours.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to 375-400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the chicken to the grill, reserving the marinade.

Step 4

Cook the chicken for 7-10 minutes (on the shorter side for tenders and thighs and on the longer side for breasts) turning the chicken every 3-3.5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill, cover with foil or a clean plate, and rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the reserved chicken marinade to a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Heat in the microwave or bring to a simmer on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, or until the marinade boils for 1.5 minutes.

Step 7

Whisk the cornstarch and cold water together until combined. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the hot marinade. Return the marinade back to the microwave or stovetop and cook, bringing the marinade to a boil, for 1 more minute or until the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

Serve the chicken with the marinade sauce and diced cilantro and sliced limes to garnish, if desired. Enjoy!
