I truly cannot tell you how tasty these grilled Dijon chicken thighs are. Sure, being chicken thighs they are already very tender and flavorful (I’m not a fan of chicken breasts, specially the monstrously huge ones you can get now… how do those chickens even walk?).
I think I’m going to try this marinade on wings too, and grilled pork tenderloin.
Also try my grilled honey-rosemary chicken thighs. If you prefer chicken breasts instead, my grilled cheesy chicken and my spice-brined chicken breasts are fantastic too!
