Rosemary Dijon Grilled Chicken
Ingredients
1 TB olive oil
3 TB dijon mustard
1 TB coarse ground mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
2 TB fresh rosemary, chopped
2 lbs chicken breast or thighs
Step-by-Step
Whisk together the olive oil, mustard, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Place the chicken in a gallon-size ziploc bag and pour in the marinade.
Press out excess air, seal the bag and then gently mash the bag with your hands until the marinade mixture evenly coats the chicken. Marinate for at least one hour.
While the chicken is marinating, start your coals on the Burch Barrel or set your grill to medium to high heat.
Remove the chicken from the ziploc bag, and place directly on the grill grate. Grill until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
Once to temperature, remove and let sit for 5 minutes, then serve.
