Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

For the Creamy Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Substitute with maple syrup for a vegan variation.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Chopped, for garnish.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Mixing bowl

  • Resealable Plastic Bag
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  2. Place your bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the creamy marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. About 15 minutes before you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, targeting a temperature between 375°F and 400°F.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down, and grill for 15-20 minutes. Flip the chicken when it is nicely browned, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the chicken with any remaining marinade. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the grilled chicken to brighten up the presentation. Serve with sides like creamy coleslaw or grilled corn.
