There is something magical about that perfect combination of sweet and spicy that you find in hot honey. This ingredient is taking the culinary world by storm, and our Hot Honey Marinated Chicken captures that magical flavor with just a handful of ingredients. This easy-to-make grilled meal has become a go-to in our summer grilling rotation, although, to be honest, it’s tasty year-round!
This dish gets so much flavor from hot honey’s balance of sweetness of regular honey with just right kick of heat. Combined with the brightness of fresh lemon juice and garlic, the marinade creates a deep flavor that transforms plain-old chicken breasts into a mouthwatering treat, and because it’s so simple, you don’t have to worry about excessive prep or cooking time.
If you haven’t experienced hot honey before, you’re in for a treat! Hot honey is honey infused with a touch of chili or hot peppers delivering a deliciously balanced heat that warms your taste buds without overwhelming them. Mike’s Hot Honey is the best-known national brand, and many local honey producers are starting to make regional versions as well!
Hot honey can be drizzled over almost anything to add a sweet and spicy kick – pizza is incredible topped with hot honey – and it’s a terrific ingredient in marinades like this one!
We wrote our Hot Honey marinated chicken recipe to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, as they are the most popular cut of chicken that we offer. If you’re using our jumbo-sized chicken breasts, we recommend pounding them flat to an even thickness to help them cook evenly. You could also use these cuts:

There are so many great ways to serve this hot honey marinated chicken! Here are a few of our favorites:
If you’re into beverage pairings, we suggest serving the hot honey marinate with a light-bodied white wine with a touch of sweetness like a Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or an off-dry to dry Rieslings. All of these wines provide a balance to the spice without overwhelming the flavors of the marinade.
It’s also delicious with an ice-cold lager beer, especially if you’re serving this recipe as a hot honey chicken sandwich!
Not only is our Hot Honey Marinated Chicken recipe straightforward and quick to make, but it’s also packed with bold flavors that will leave you wanting more. It’s perfect for everything from backyard barbecues to weeknight dinners and will have everyone reaching for seconds.

Enjoy, and happy grilling!
Add all the marinade ingredients (everything except the chicken) to a small bowl and whisk together.
Place the chicken in a sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top of the chicken. Work the marinade into the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
Heat the grill to medium-high heat and cook over direct heat for 5 minutes per side, flipping once. Move the chicken to indirect heat and continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160ºF.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with more hot honey if you like. Enjoy!
