Yes. But this recipe is specifically for a deboned thigh on a skewer. Bone-in chicken thighs work well, but they will take longer to cook than boneless thighs. Grill them over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) .

Can I cook these chicken thighs on a gas grill?

Absolutely. This recipe works on a gas grill, charcoal barbecue, or an open-fire braai. If using a gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat and grill until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

Why are the chicken thighs secured with a skewer?

Each boneless chicken thigh is flat and securing it with a single skewer helps it keep its shape while grilling. It also makes the chicken easier to turn and serve as a hand-held meal.

How do I know when the chicken is done?

The safest way is to use a meat thermometer. The thickest part of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) . The juices should run clear, and the meat should no longer be pink.

What can I serve with honey mustard grilled chicken thighs?

These grilled chicken thighs pair well with potato salad, coleslaw, grilled corn, roasted potatoes, rice, garlic bread, grilled vegetables, green salads, or a fresh pasta salad.

Can I make the marinade ahead of time?

Yes. You can prepare the honey mustard marinade up to 2 days in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to marinate the chicken.

Can I freeze the marinated chicken?

Yes. Place the chicken and marinade in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months . Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before grilling.

How should I store leftovers?

Store leftover grilled chicken thighs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days . Reheat gently on the grill, in the oven, or microwave until heated through. They're also delicious sliced cold in wraps, sandwiches, or salads.

Instructions

Debone the chicken thighs by cutting along each side of the bone and carefully removing it, leaving the thigh meat in one piece. Flatten each thigh slightly.
Prepare the honey mustard marinade. Finely chop the onion and add it to a bowl with the olive oil, honey, mustard, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined.
Place a spoonful of the marinade into a container large enough to hold the four deboned chicken thighs. Lay the chicken thighs flat in the container, then pour the remaining marinade over the top, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor. Before grilling, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 20–30 minutes.
When the coals are hot and ready, lay flat each chicken thigh and secure it with a single bamboo skewer through the center. This helps the chicken hold its shape and makes it easier to turn while grilling.
Place the chicken over the hot coals and cook for 5–6 minutes on the first side, or until beautifully caramelized with light grill marks. Turn the chicken over, baste with the remaining marinade, and grill for another 5–6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160 deg. F, (60 deg. C)
Serve the chicken straight from the skewer for an easy, casual barbecue or braai meal.
Enjoy it with fresh salads, grilled vegetables, potatoes, warm bread, or your favorite barbecue side dishes.

Notes

Recipe Tip
