- 2Brush the chicken thighs with olive oil.
Cooking

Tips
- Ensure all glaze ingredients are at room temperature for easier whisking and better emulsification.
- Watch the glaze closely as it can burn quickly due to the honey; adjust grill heat if necessary.
- Serve immediately with a side of Belgian fries, a fresh salad, or crusty bread to mop up the delicious glaze.
