Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (Cook time: 12-16 minutes)
06 Step

5 mins
Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. (Rest time: 5 minutes)
For best results, use freshly squeezed citrus juices for a brighter flavor.
Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on your preferred level of sweetness.
If you don't have a grill, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve the grilled orange chicken with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
