These Sage Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs are legit gonna blow your mind!
Run don’t walk to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients for these babies. This recipe is a sure-fire winner.
Most of you are huge fans of my rosemary and citrus chicken thighs. It’s been my go-to recipe for ages but this version with sage and honey might be even better if that’s possible.
Sage is one of those underused herbs when it comes to chicken. It’s got this earthiness that works so well with the honey. The marinade is incredible.
I let it sit overnight so it penetrates the chicken making it super juicy & tasty. You can double or triple this recipe if you are having a crowd.
Happy grilling xxx Chef MM
