Ingredients You Will Need:

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup country dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts

Step-by-Step Recipe Instrcutions:

You can either cook it on the stovetop or grill it!

STEP 1: Combine the country Dijon mustard, honey, yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, rosemary, salt, paprika, and pepper in a medium bowl. In another bowl, mix ⅓ cup of the marinade with mayonnaise. Keep the dipping sauce refrigerated until you're ready to use it.

STEP 2 (if using chicken breast): For chicken breasts, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten them with a meat mallet or a heavy skillet until they are evenly thick

STEP 3: Place the chicken thighs or breasts in a gallon-sized plastic zip-top bag. Add the remaining marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).

Stovetop Method:

STEP 4: To cook on the stovetop: Take out the chicken from the marinade and dry it with paper towels. Get rid of the rest of the marinade. Warm up a big cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Put in the last tablespoon of olive oil and move it around to cover the pan.

STEP 5: Put the chicken in the skillet and cook until it's nicely browned and easily comes off the pan, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and lower the heat to medium-low. Let it cook without disturbing it until it easily comes off the pan and the inside reaches 165°F. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving with the dipping sauce.

Grill Method:

STEP 6: Get the grill ready: Heat up the grill to medium heat, about 350°F. Make sure to oil the grill grates thoroughly.

STEP 7: Remove the chicken from the marinade and dry it with paper towels. Dispose of the leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill. Cover it and cook until grill marks appear and the chicken easily releases, around 6 to 8 minutes

STEP 8: Turn the chicken over and cook until it's no longer pink inside and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, for an extra 2 to 3 minutes. After resting for 5 minutes, serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

ENJOY!!
