HONEY-ROSEMARY CHICKEN

Category: Poultry I

1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp coarse-grain mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp snipped fresh rosemary
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
8 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

In a small bowl, combine honey, olive oil, mustard, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Skin bone-in chicken, if desired. Place chicken in a large, heavy-duty, self-sealing plastic bag set in a bowl. Pour honey mixture over chicken. Seal bag, marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade.

In a grill with a cover, arrange preheated coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above pan. Place chicken on grill rack over pan. Cover grill, grill until chicken is tender and no longer pink, turning and brushing with reserved marinade halfway through grilling time. (Allow 45 to 50 minutes for bone-in chicken. Allow 15 to 18 minutes for boneless chicken breasts.). Serves 8 NOTE: Makes great sandwiches.
