Creating the perfect Hot Honey Grilled Chicken is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the hot honey, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F – 400°F).
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and grill marks appear.
5. Baste with Hot Honey: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush additional hot honey over the chicken for an enhanced glaze.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to keep it juicy.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll create an amazing main dish that will wow your taste buds!
