Step 1: 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.
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
Step 2: 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!
