- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup honey

- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Grilled Lemon Dill Chicken with Honey Glaze!
The history of Grilled Lemon Dill Chicken with a honey glaze can be traced back to the Mediterranean region, where the combination of citrus, herbs, and sweet glazes has long been a staple of traditional cuisine. This dish has evolved over time, with chefs and home cooks adding their own unique twists and flavors to create a mouthwatering and aromatic dish. One of the key elements of this dish is the use of fresh dill, which adds a unique and refreshing flavor to the chicken. The addition of a honey glaze brings a delightful sweetness that perfectly complements the tangy lemon and savory dill. In terms of the best version of this dish, many would argue that the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece and Turkey, is where you can find the most authentic and delicious Grilled Lemon Dill Chicken with a honey glaze. The use of locally sourced ingredients and traditional cooking methods truly elevates the flavors of this dish. When making this dish, it's important to ensure that the chicken is marinated in a mixture of lemon juice, dill, and olive oil to infuse it with flavor before grilling. The honey glaze should be brushed on during the grilling process to caramelize and create a beautiful glaze. For those looking for a famous alternative method, some chefs recommend using a combination of lemon zest and dill to create a dry rub for the chicken before grilling, then drizzling it with a honey and lemon juice mixture just before serving. This method provides a slightly different flavor profile while still capturing the essence of the classic dish.
