Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken

Marinate this the night before, grill it when guests arrive, and spend the party in a chair instead of over the coals.

Serves 8 Easy

Ingredients

  • 3 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt
  • Lemon wedges and parsley, to serve

Method

  1. Whisk mustard, honey, oil, vinegar, garlic, paprika, pepper, and 1 tsp salt in a bowl.
  2. Pat chicken dry and place in a large dish. Pour marinade over, turning to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat grill to medium. Oil the grates.
  4. Grill chicken skin-side down first, about 6 minutes, until golden. Flip and cook 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until juices run clear.
  5. Rest 10 minutes. Brush with any reserved marinade warmed on the stove (boil 1 minute if it touched raw chicken).
  6. Serve with lemon wedges and parsley scattered over the platter.
“I line a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup and always make extra. Cold chicken straight from the fridge the next day is a gift.” Heather Holiday
