Marinade Ingredients
- 1/3 cup honey mustard dressing
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/3 cup hot sauce
Main Ingredients
- 4 to 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey mustard dressing, teriyaki sauce, and hot sauce until well combined to create a balanced marinade with sweet, tangy, and spicy elements.
- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a gallon-sized ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag securely, and toss it gently to coat all pieces evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to permeate the meat.
- Preheat the grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and nice grill marks.
- Grill the chicken: Remove chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF (74ºC), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
- Rest and serve: Once grilled, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken longer for more intense flavor, up to overnight.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely to 165ºF.
- For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of hot sauce.
- This recipe works well with chicken thighs as an alternative.
- Leftover chicken can be used in salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
