Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-205°C). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve hot with your favorite BBQ sides like grilled vegetables, potato salad, or coleslaw.
