Tips

Great grilled chicken relies on even heat, thoughtful seasoning, and mindful timing. For the best results, avoid overhandling the chicken once it hits the grill. Keep a close eye on the honey mustard glaze, as its natural sugars caramelize quickly. If you prefer deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for up to two hours beforehand. A quick temperature check ensures juicy results every time.

• Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
• Let the chicken rest before slicing.
• Apply glaze in layers for richer caramelization.

This recipe adapts beautifully to different tastes and grilling styles. Whether you're looking to add heat, citrus brightness, or smoky depth, small ingredient tweaks can create big flavor shifts. Try one of these variations next time you fire up your Arteflame.

• Spicy honey mustard with a pinch of cayenne.
• Lemon-herb honey mustard with fresh thyme.
• Maple mustard glaze in place of honey.
