- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by combining honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a bowl and pour the marinade over them.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place it skin-side down on the grill.
- Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 6-7 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your delicious Memorial Day Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken.
Notes
For best flavor, grill fresh ingredients. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and are fantastic in salads or sandwiches.
