Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken

Poultry Classics

Prep time:

5 minutes, plus marinating

Grill time :

26-37 minutes

“Mixing together this marinade of honey, mustard, lemon juice and ginger is one of my first memories of cooking with Grandma. ”

Ingredients

Serves 4

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup Dijon-style mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (about 3 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

1
Place the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice and ginger in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Transfer half of the marinade to a large measuring cup and set aside. Refrigerate the remaining marinade.
2
Place the chicken in a large bowl. Season with the salt and pepper. Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken, turning pieces until coated well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3
Preheat grill to medium. Grill the chicken, turning frequently, until deep golden brown, cooked through and juices run clear when thickest pieces are pierced with a knife, 25 to 35 minutes. Brush the remaining marinade over the chicken and grill for 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma learned the hard way that you shouldn't cook the chicken at a higher temperature than stated in the recipe—the sugars in the honey burned long before the chicken was cooked through.

Serving Suggestion

My mom likes to serve this on the back patio with a three-bean salad, slices of fresh watermelon and frosty ice tea.
