I made this simple dish of grilled honey-rosemary chicken thighs using chicken thighs, but you could of course use any cut of chicken. This would also work great for grilled pork chops. I love firing up my Weber for dishes like this. The chicken is just amazing. So tender, so juicy. And the flavor is just fantastic. A little sweetness with the freshness of rosemary makes for great tasting chicken. This is not boring chicken. The key is to make sure you don’t miss a spot when you baste the chicken as it cooks. Don’t be afraid to make extra of the basting sauce.
I’m a huge fan of rosemary. I put in a little more than this recipe for grilled honey-rosemary chicken thighs calls for. Now that I think back, this would’ve been great served up with some homemade rosemary focaccia bread. I wish I’d thought of that when I made these! But they were fantastic just like they are, with a simple vegetable side dish or two.
