- 1/4 cup (60ml) Dijon mustard

- Grill the chicken uncovered over medium heat coals, flipping once. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to cook.
Notes
- You can allow the chicken to marinate on the countertop for twenty minutes if you are in a real rush but for the best results let the chicken soak in this simple chicken marinade recipe in the refrigerator for a few hours, to allow the marinade to soak deeply into the bird.
- Serve the cooked marinated chicken with potatoes or rice, as well as one or two of your favorite vegetables. You might like to serve a salad with this simple chicken marinade recipe, rather than the veggies.
