Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 bone-in chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or container and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill skin-side down for 6-8 minutes until crispy and charred, then flip and grill for another 6-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, lay 6 whole scallions on the grill and char them, turning occasionally until tender and slightly blackened.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken and scallions from grill, rest chicken for 5 minutes, then serve with grilled scallions and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
