Grilled Dilled Lemon Chicken With Honey And Dijon Recipes

GRILLED, DILLED LEMON CHICKEN WITH HONEY AND DIJON

Steps:

• Finely grate zest from 1 lemon into a bowl. Squeeze the lemon and add the juice to the bowl. Stir in olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper until well blended.
• Place chicken in a large resealable bag. Add 1/3 cup of the juice mixture to the bag along with half of the dill and basil. Close bag tightly.
• Marinate chicken in the refrigerator, turning bag at least once, for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, heat a gas grill to medium-high, or prepare a charcoal grill for direct cooking.
• Very thinly slice the remaining lemon; mix the slices with the remaining juice mixture. Set aside.
• Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Grill chicken directly over the heat source, turning once, until chicken is nearly firm when pressed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to the platter. Pour reserved lemon mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle with remaining dill and basil. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRILLED HONEY-LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Place chicken breasts into the bag, seal, and squeeze bag with your fingers several times to coat chicken with marinade. Place a second resealable bag over the first and seal to prevent leaks. Refrigerate chicken for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken breasts from bag; discard used marinade. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until the center is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 minutes per side.

EASY GRILLED HONEY-DIJON CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the honey, mustard, 1 tablespoon of oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and put the mixture into a large plastic resealable bag. Add the chicken, seal the bag and shake to incorporate. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange it on a well-oiled grill. Cook until a nice crust forms on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest on a serving platter for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with lime wedges.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH DIJON AND MEYER LEMON

Steps:

• Combine the lemon juice, zest, mustard, rosemary and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the mustard mixture to loosen it. Paint this mixture generously all over the chicken and let sit for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. If you have any of the mustard mixture left over, save it for repainting while the chicken is cooking.
• Preheat the grill to medium (you want the chicken to cook on the grill as long as possible without burning to develop lovely crispy, tasty skin). Brush off any crud on the grill with a wire grill brush and run an oiled towel over the grill to pick up any bits of loosened crud. Season the chicken lightly with salt and arrange gently on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. If the chicken flares up, move it to a cooler part of the grill; you don't want sooty film on the chicken (it won't taste good).
• Once the chicken has started to brown and crisp, it's a good idea to close the grill to allow the heat to cook the chicken from all directions. You want to cook the chicken skin side down for a total of 10 to 12 minutes, then turn it over and cook it for another 10 to 12 minutes. If you're using a grill pan, you can transfer the chicken to a 375 degree F oven when it's ready to flip so it can finish cooking. If there is leftover mustard mixture, use it to paint the skin of the chicken on the second side. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F.
• When the chicken is nearly done, place the lemon halves on the grill cut side down and leave them alone until brown and caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. (These will smell great while they're grilling!)
• Remove the chicken from the heat and serve with the grilled lemon for extra lemony goodness.
