Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for grilling)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the Arteflame grill.
2. Stack firewood on top of the soaked napkins.
3. Light the napkins and allow the firewood to ignite.
4. Let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches over 1,000°F and the surrounding cooktop is evenly heated.

Step 2: Prepare the Glaze

1. In a small bowl, mix honey, Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Set aside for glazing the chicken.

Step 3: Sear the Chicken

1. Rub the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, and a light coat of butter.
2. Place them on the center grill grate for a high-temperature sear.
3. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side to lock in juices and create a golden crust.

Step 4: Finish on the Flat Griddle

1. Move the seared chicken to the cooler section of the flat cooktop.
2. Brush generously with the honey mustard glaze.
3. Cook for another 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally and basting with more glaze.
4. Remove the chicken when the internal temperature is 15°F below the target temperature (165°F for chicken) as it will continue cooking after being removed.

Step 5: Serve

1. Garnish with chopped parsley.
2. Serve hot with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.

Tips

• Use high-quality firewood for a consistent and clean burn.
• Butter enhances the flavor better than oil.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
• Adjust heat zones by moving the fillets to different sections of the griddle.

Variations

1. Spicy Honey Mustard Chicken: Add 1 tsp of cayenne and a dash of hot sauce to the glaze for a spicy kick.
2. Garlic Herb Chicken: Replace mustard with a mix of minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme for a fragrant twist.
3. Maple Dijon Chicken: Swap honey for pure maple syrup for a deeper, caramelized sweetness.
4. Asian-Inspired Glaze: Blend 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp ginger into the glaze for an umami depth.
5. Smoky BBQ Mustard Chicken: Add 2 tbsp BBQ sauce to the glaze for a smoky, tangy flavor.
