Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 pounds raw chicken pieces (8 to 10 pieces chicken, a mix of cuts is fine)
  • Salt and pepper
  • MARINADE
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, add more if you don't mind too much heat (I add an entire teaspoon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Marinade ... Add all the ingredients to a large ziplock bag or a baking dish/pan and mix well. The bag is the easiest way to go - just close the bag, shake and squeeze to cover all the chicken. But you can use a glass baking dish too - just make sure to mix well to cover all the chicken, then cover the entire dish with plastic wrap. I prefer to marinate mine over night, so in the morning I flip over the bag to make sure all the chicken is equally coated in the marinade. If using a dish, make sure to take it out of the refrigerate, stir it well and recover. I prefer 24 hours to get the best flavor, but at least 8 hours.

  • Step 2: Grill ... Remove the chicken from the marinade shaking off most of the marinade, season with salt and pepper and grill. Indoor grill pan, outdoor grill or you can even use a saute pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Obviously, each cut of chicken will take a different cooking times. If you aren't sure, use a meat thermometer. Grill on medium heat, so the chicken doesn't burn.

  • Step 3: Serve and ENJOY! ... Since I made mine on the grilled, some grilled squash and a salad is the perfect dinner.
