Honey-Lemon Garlic Grilled Chicken
  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium heat.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the honey and lemon juice. Set aside half for basting, and brush the remaining half onto the chicken breasts.

  3. 3

    Lightly oil the grill grate, then place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning often. Baste frequently during the final 5 minutes. The chicken is done when the meat is firm and the juices run clear.
