Honey Lemon Chicken with Chickpeas

Instructions

1. For the rub: Combine all rub ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. For the chickpeas: Drain chickpeas. Rinse well. Set aside to dry while preparing the chicken.
3. For the basting sauce: Combine all ingredients in a glass jar with a lid. Shake well.
4. For the chicken: Lay chicken out on the board. Sprinkle the rub on both sides, reserving 1 tablespoon for the chickpeas. Prepare grill pan and oil grates to prevent sticking. Grill, turning every few minutes until all sides are golden and charred in places. Start basting with the sauce after 5 minutes of grilling, using up all of the sauce. Total grilling time will be around 12-15 minutes but can vary, depending on the heat of your grill. Remove from the grill and cover loosely with foil while preparing the chickpeas.
5. To finish the chickpeas: Heat a medium-size nonstick pan over medium heat. When hot add the oil and swirl the pan to coat with oil. Add the chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally until chickpeas are golden brown. Sprinkle chickpeas with the reserved rub, stir well and transfer to a serving platter.
6. Arrange chicken on top of the chickpeas and enjoy!
