Description

Quick and easy family friendly marinade, which pairs well with any favorite family sides.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless chicken thighs, trimmed
  • 1/3 c olive oil
  • 1/4 c Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 c low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 T honey
  • 2 T light brown sugar
  • 3 cloves pressed garlic
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Fresh ground pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: Fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Mix all of the ingredients, aside from chicken, in a glass pyrex container.
  2. Trim the thighs (and slice breasts into cutlets, if using).
  3. Add the chicken to the pyrex and stir to coat the meat in the marinade.  Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge, or up to 24 hours.
  4. Then, heat up your grill to medium.
  5.  Grill thighs about 3-4 minutes per side, looking for the nice grill marks before flipping, keeping your grill to a temperature of about 350-400 degrees, monitoring closely.

Notes

  • If your family prefers chicken breast meat, you can trim breasts into cutlets and follow the instructions for the thighs
  • You could also bake these on a foil lined baking sheet in the oven at 425 degrees for about 12 minutes (or until measuring 165 degrees internal temperature)
