Mustard Barbecue Chicken Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 x chicken drumsticks and thighs (abt 3 lbs total)
- 1/2 c. Dijon-style mustard
- 3 Tbsp. vinegar
- 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp snipped fresh thyme
- Â Â (or possibly 1/8 tspn dry thyme, crushed)
- 2 Tbsp. molasses
- Â Â Grilled pesto tomatoes (optional)
- Â Â Grilled sourdough bread slices (optional)
Directions
- Remove skin from chicken, if you like. Place chicken in a 1-gallon sealable plastic bag in a shallow dish; set aside.
- For marinade, stir together mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme till smooth. Pour marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and turn to coat the chicken with marinade. Refrigeratefor 4 to 24 hrs, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken, reserving marinade. Measure 1/3 c. marinade and set aside to use to make the sauce. Reserve remaining marinade for grilling.
- Prepare grill for indirect grilling. Test for medium heat above drip pan. Place chicken pcs, bone-side down, on the lightly oiled rack over pan. Cover and grill for 50 to 60 min or possibly till an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of thickest portions register 180 degrees, brushing occasionally with marinade. (Don't brush during the last 5 min of grilling.)
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the 1/3 c. reserved marinade and the molasses. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 5 min. Pass sauce with chicken. Serve with grilled pesto tomatoes and grilled sourdough bread slices, if you like.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: Experiment with different flavored mustards - such as whole grain, spicy, or possibly white-wine mustard - to add in an exotic spin to this simple grilling glaze.
