Grilled - Honey-Mustard Chicken

Category: Chicken

3 lbs chicken breast or chicken thighs
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp honey
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
6 Tbsp olive oil
3 garlic clove, finely minced or grated
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground salt and black pepper


1. In a large bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper. Add chicken and stir well to coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
2. To grill chicken: Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Once preheated, place your chicken on your grill, and close the lid. Cook your chicken on the grill for 8 minutes on one side. After 8 minutes open your grill lid and flip your chicken with tongs. Cook your chicken breast for 8 minutes more. Cook time will vary a bit depending on the size of your chicken and type of cut, so be sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, your chicken is done and can be transferred to a clean plate or cutting board. Immediately cover chicken with foil and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting into it.
3. To bake your honey mustard chicken: preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and internal temperature reads 165 degrees F.
