Serving4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup whole-grain mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ¼ cup olive oil, for the grill
Instructions
- Make the marinade. Whisk together the salt, pepper, mustard, honey, balsamic, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Marinade the chicken. Place the chicken in a large freezer bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the fridge for up to 2 hours. If you let it marinade in the fridge, transfer the chicken to the counter 15 minutes before grilling.
- Grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) and brush the grate with olive oil. Remove the chicken from the bag (reserve the marinade) and place the chicken on the grill. Grill for 5 minutes.
- Baste. Flip the chicken and brush it liberally with the left-behind marinade. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Rest. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
