Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs is a snap to make and absolutely delicious. This was a first grilling chicken thighs, so I decided to try a different marinade and basting sauce than I typically use. I thought I'd try honey mustard, and boy was it good!

Ingredients

  • 6 skinless and bone-in chicken thighs trimmed of fat
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup Dijon mustard
