Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Kernels from 3 ears of fresh corn
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 avocado, diced
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons for glazing.
- Pat chicken dry and brush with the honey mixture on both sides.
- Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, brushing with the reserved glaze during the last few minutes until cooked through and caramelized.
- In a large bowl, combine corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, avocado, and lime juice. Toss gently to coat.
- Slice the grilled chicken and serve alongside the sweet corn salad with an extra drizzle of honey if desired.
Notes
- Brush glaze during the final minutes to avoid burning.
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but frozen works in a pinch.
- For extra heat, sprinkle chili flakes on top before serving.
