Serves 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 4 garlic cloves , minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary needles , finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves , finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup honey (I used orange blossom honey)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • For the Mushrooms
  • 6 small porcini mushrooms , sliced 1-inch thick
  • 5 garlic cloves , minced
  • 2 red chili peppers , sliced and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add the chicken, garlic, rosemary, sage, and honey to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and gently toss to combine. Put the chicken in the refrigerator and marinate for 3-5 hours or up to overnight. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator.
  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Put the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and cook for approximately 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue to cook for 9 minutes longer, or until they are cooked through. Remove from the grill.
  • In a medium cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and the chili peppers to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Do not let the garlic brown. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10 minutes, or until softened, stirring. Remove from the heat.
  • Transfer the chicken to individual plates and serve with the mushrooms on the side. Serve immediately.
