Honey Brown Lager Grilled Chicken Steaks

What is a chicken steak? It's a butter flied boneless chicken thigh. You can leave the skin on for added flavor or remove it for a leaner recipe.

12                                boneless chicken thighs

1/4 cup                        Ted's World Famous BBQ Bone Dust BBQ Rub

4 cloves                       garlic, minced

1                                  small onion, finely chopped

3/4 cup                        Ted's World Famous BBQ Crazy Canuck BBQ Sauce

1/4 cup                        honey

½ bottle                       Sleeman Honey Brown Lager         

1 tbsp.                         chopped fresh rosemary

1 tbsp.                         Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp.                         cracked black pepper

Special Equipment: bamboo skewers

• Soak 24 bamboo skewers (6 to 8 inches) in warm water for 1 hour. (Or use metal skewers.)
• Rub the chicken with the Bone Dust Rub, pressing the seasoning into the meat. Skewer each thigh with 2 skewers in an X pattern. (This will keep the chicken flat during grilling.)
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the garlic, onion, Crazy Canuck BBQ Sauce, honey, Sleeman Honey Brown Lager, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.
• Preheat grill to medium-high approximately 450-550 degrees.
• Sear chicken thighs skin side down for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, turn and continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, basting with reserved sauce, until fully cooked (170 degrees F.).
• Remove from grill and serve immediately with chilled bottles of Sleeman Honey Brown Lager.
