A little sweet with a little heat, hot honey is the perfect condiment for juicy chicken thighs. We serve the thighs with corn grits studded with sweet corn kernels and finish it all off with a shower of fresh green chives. We like the straightforward flavor of the corn without adding any dairy, but a knob of soft butter or a dollop of sour cream stirred into the grits will add additional creaminess.
