How to Make Grilled Honey Thyme Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring it's coated evenly.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.
  6. Grill chicken for 5-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. (Optional) For extra juicy chicken, baste with a mixture of water, a little olive oil and lemon juice during the last few minutes of grilling.
