How to Make Bbq Chicken With A Zing

  1. Whisk together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade in a separate container and refrigerate; this will be your serving sauce.
  3. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs) in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, turning or shaking occasionally to ensure even marination.
  5. Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
  6. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Alternatively, bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with the reserved mustard sauce, rice, asparagus, and your favorite sides.
