Ingredients

Scale

For the Marinade:

  • 1 pound chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (grainy Dijon works well)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced or grated
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (for a bit of heat)
  • Freshly ground salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the bowl, tossing it well to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour for the best flavor.
  2. Grilling Instructions: Preheat your grill to 400°F. Once preheated, place the marinated chicken on the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on one side. Afterward, flip the chicken with tongs (avoid flipping multiple times for juicy chicken). Cook the other side for 6-8 minutes. To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chicken rest covered with foil for 5-10 minutes to lock in the juices.
  3. Baking Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is no longer pink.
