This is a simple honey mustard chicken that uses basic ingredients and takes minutes to prepare. It's perfect for a busy weeknight!
Equipment
- 1 grill
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, may also use chicken breast
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients, but omit the mayonnaise. You will add the mayonnaise later when you drizzle the marinade over the chicken.Add everything, besides the mayo, to a small bowl and whisk.
- In a 9 x 13 dish or ziplock, add the chicken. Pour 2/3 of the marinade over the chicken. Move the chicken around to get it evenly coated. Chill for 1 hour.
- To the remaining 1/3 cup of marinade, add the mayo and whisk. Pop in the fridge for later.
- After the chicken has marinated, heat your grill to high heat.
- Add your chicken thighs and reduce the heat to medium. Let the chicken cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 5 minutes, or until it's cooked through.
- Plate your chicken over a bed of spinach or a bun and drizzle the remaining marinade over it. Enjoy!
Notes
If you make this with chicken breast, be sure to use a mallet to tenderize and thin them down so they don’t dry out while cooking.
I add about a teaspoon of curry powder to mine.
