Absolutely! Boneless breasts or even drumsticks work well too. Just adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the meat.

When the sun is blazing and the BBQ is sizzling, nothing beats a fresh, flavorful grilled chicken recipe… especially with a cold wheat beer on the side! For this summer-perfect honey garlic grilled chicken, we teamed up with Unibroue and their iconic Blanche de Chambly—a classic Quebec white beer with citrusy notes, gentle spice, and a light grainy finish. It beautifully enhances the lemony brightness of the dish while balancing the honey’s sweetness and the richness of the butter.
Whether you’re planning a weekend cookout, a laid-back lunch with friends, or your next Saturday night feast, this recipe hits all the right notes: simple, packed with flavor, and ideally paired with beer. It’s a combo that celebrates local flavors, outdoor grilling, and the joys of summer.

✅ Marinate longer, love harder
• Let the chicken thighs marinate for at least 3–4 hours—overnight if you can. The longer, the juicier and more flavorful they’ll be.
🔥 Hot grill = killer caramelization
• Crank up the heat! A properly preheated BBQ helps the honey and beer form a beautiful golden crust without drying the meat.
🧈 Final baste = flavor bomb
• Reserve a small amount of clean marinade (not used on raw chicken!) to brush on during the last few minutes of grilling. It amps up the flavor big time.
🍋 Add brightness at the end
• A little lime juice or lemon zest at the end adds a fresh pop that balances the rich, garlicky glaze.
🥗 Winning sides
• Pair it with lemon orzo salad, grilled corn, or crispy Greek potatoes for a weeknight dinner that feels like the weekend.
👨🍳 No grill? No problem.
• Bake at 400°F (200°C) on a wire rack for 30–35 minutes, then broil for 2–3 minutes to get that golden finish.
