Chicken thigh fillet with honey mustard – sweet, spicy, and super tender.

Golden brown, juicy chicken thigh fillet with Giant Flames

Chicken thigh fillet is the absolute favorite of many pitmasters. The meat is more forgiving, tender, and flavorful than dry chicken breast. But beware: the honey and mustard in this delicious marinade present a significant challenge on the grill. You want a beautiful caramelized crust, not a charred exterior with raw chicken on the inside. For that, you need controlled firepower.

Giant Flames charcoal or coconut briquettes

For grilling chicken thighs over medium heat, you have a choice of two fuels, depending on your type of BBQ:

Acacia charcoal: want to quickly put a tasty meal on the table after work? Our FSC-certified acacia charcoal heats up lightning fast and is perfect for a shorter grilling session. Do pay close attention, though: acacia generates considerable heat quickly, so make sure you keep a close eye on the chicken!
Coconut briquettes: do you have the time or are you making a larger quantity? Then go for our coconut briquettes. They provide extremely stable, constant heat without unexpected heat spikes. Because they burn virtually smokeless and odorless, you will taste nothing but that delicious sweet and spicy marinade. (Note: use these briquettes in your open grill, fire bowl, or kettle BBQ, but not in a Kamado).
