In an effort to keep the kitchen cool this summer, I have been trying to be creative with grilling. I have never grilled much myself but have found it to be very easy!

The following recipe was inspired by my daughter-in-law, Christina who served a grilled chicken dish at one of our dinners at her house.

The lemon in the honey mustard marinade gives a slight zing to spice up the flavors a bit. But, don't worry if you don't have lemon juice - it is delicious without it!

Everyone loved this Honey Mustard Chicken. In fact, the favored part was the crusty skin that had soaked up the marinade - it is delicious!
