Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken

Marinade:

  • ½ cups honey
  • ½ cups mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice apple cider vinegar may be used
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients and pour over chicken.
  • Allow chicken to marinade in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
  • Place on grill and cook until desired doneness is reached. I have found that for legs and thighs it is about 5 mins on each side.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Tips:
  • Mix the marinade in a separate container and reserve what is not used (hasn't touched the raw chicken) as a dipping sauce to serve with the chicken - it is delicious!
  • Chicken can be placed in a ziplock bag and the marinade poured into it, sealed and refrigerated.
  • Don't peel the skin off the chicken. Not only is it full of healthy fats, it helps make the chicken moist and really is the best part!
  • While this recipe is for grilled chicken, it can also be cooked in a frying pan indoors
