Ingredients

  • servings pepper black freshly ground
  • pounds chicken pieces boneless bone-in skinless
  • tablespoons apple cider vinegar 
  • 0.5 cup dijon mustard 
  • servings kosher salt 
  • 0.7 cup maple syrup 
  • tablespoon soya sauce 
  • tablespoons vegetable oil 
  • 0.3 cup coarse mustard 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • paper towels
  • whisk
  • grill
  • kitchen thermometer

Directions

  1. Place the maple syrup, Dijon, whole-grain mustard, vinegar, and soy sauce in a small, nonreactive bowl and whisk to combine. Equally divide the sauce between 2 small bowls; set aside 1 bowl for serving and the other for brushing onto the chicken while it cooks on the grill.
  2. Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium (about 350°F to 450°F). Meanwhile, if you’re using chicken breasts (either boneless or bone-in), cut them in half crosswise. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and place on a baking sheet. Coat them all over with the oil and season with salt and pepper.When the grill is ready, place the chicken on it (skin-side down if using skin-on), cover the grill, and cook until grill marks appear on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces over, cover the grill, and cook until grill marks appear on the second side, about 5 minutes more.Flip the chicken again and generously brush the pieces using the bowl of sauce set aside for that. Cover the grill and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and brush the chicken, and continue to flip and brush every 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest piece reads 160°F to 165°F and the meat near the bone is no longer pink, about 10 to 15 minutes more (about 25 to 30 minutes total cooking time).
  3. Remove the chicken to a clean serving platter and pass the remaining bowl of sauce on the side.
