Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix honey, soy sauce, lime zest, lime juice
and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
2. About 20 minutes before you are ready to grill, preheat a gas grill (with all burners lit) to 400 For build a fire in a charcoal grill and let it burn down to medium heat
3. If using a gas grill, turn off one burner (leaving 1 to 2 burners lit, depending on your grill).If using a charcoal grill, move the coals to one
side. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade (reserve marinade) and place boneside down (with the thick part of the meat facing up) on the unheated side of the grill rack. Close the kid and roast undisturbed for 25 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and boil until reduced by about half and thickened to a glaze, 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Rotate the chicken to other spots on the unheated portion of the grill to ensure even cooking and lightly brush with some of the glaze. Cover and continue roasting, basting
once more about halfway through cooking, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat without touching
bone registers 165"F, 10 to 20 minutes more.
