How to make the best honey mustard marinade.

Simple ingredients make for the best marinade.  No need to overcomplicate things.  Also, this is a great step to prep the night before and just throw on the grill the next day.

In a mixing bowl, add dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice and Dad’s All Purpose rub. Whisk the ingredients together and set aside.

For this recipe, I decided to go with chicken tenders.  This is a different from my usual chicken thighs, but wanted to make something different for the kids.

Place the chicken tenders in a ziplock bag and pour 3/4 of the honey mustard marinade over the chicken.  Make sure to get a good cover all throughout squeezing the air out of the bag.  Place the bag in the fridge for at least 1 hour allowing the meat to absorb all those delicious flavors from the marinade.

Time to grill up the chicken.

Preheat the grill to high direct heat.  Place the marinade honey mustard chicken tenders on the grates and grill about 3 -4 minutes per side.  Once the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, remove this off the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Before serving, pour the remaining marinate over the grilled honey mustard chicken, sprinkle some chopped parsley and enjoy!
