Recipe: Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken

Here's one for the hot days when you don't want to cook inside:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 pounds of chicken (you can use legs & thighs, or boneless breasts, but the breasts will cook faster)
Salt & pepper to taste, as desired

Put the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice and ginger in a medium bowl and whisk well. Pour half of the marinade in a large measuring cup and set aside, and refrigerate the remaining marinade. Season the chicken with salt & pepper to taste if desired, then use the marinade on the chicken (coat well in a plastic bag or in a dish) and chill for an hour or two.

Grill the chicken on a medium heat, slowly, turning frequently. If you are using drumsticks, it should take around 25-30 minutes, boneless a little less. Once it is deep golden brown, brush the remaining marinade on the chicken and grill for a few more minutes (not too long, as you don't want dry chicken!)

You can easily keep this marinade in the fridge for several days if 3 pounds of chicken at once is too much for your family. You can also marinade the chicken overnight for the following day. This is a great recipe for grill outs with friends and family!
