# How to Make It:
01 -
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, hot honey, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until fully blended. Place chicken thighs in a glass dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
02 -
Set the grill to its highest temperature. Allow to heat thoroughly before cooking.
03 -
Remove chicken from the marinade and place directly onto the hot grill. Cook for 5 minutes on the first side until the chicken easily releases. Flip the chicken and continue grilling for 5 to 6 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 74°C. Remove and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with additional hot honey before serving.
04 -
In a large bowl, combine sweet corn kernels, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
05 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and pepper until smooth.
06 -
Pour the lime dressing over the corn mixture and stir to coat the ingredients evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
07 -
Arrange grilled chicken alongside the lime corn salad and serve immediately.
