Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard powder
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/4 pounds)
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- Prepared macaroni salad, for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat a grill to medium. Whisk the yellow mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard powder, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Whisk in the butter.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with about one-third of the mustard sauce in a large bowl until coated. Let sit at room temperature, 10 minutes.
Brush the grill grates generously with vegetable oil. Put about 1/4 cup of the remaining mustard sauce in a small bowl for basting and reserve the rest for topping. Grill the chicken, covered, basting occasionally with the sauce, until well marked and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes per side.
Serve the chicken with the reserved mustard sauce, sliced tomato and macaroni salad, if desired.

I kept wanting to make this but never seem to find the time to do BBQ, so I cubed up some chicken breast. Browned in a skillet, made the sauce and poured it in. Cooked it till it reduced somewhat, and poured it over a salad. AWESOME flavor!! I may now have to try this on BBQ :

The best BBQ chicken I have ever made, I though all that mustard was going to be over powering but the sugar balanced all out, the kids love it, I made it with roasted broccoli and they asked me to put some of the extra sauce over the broccoli, this one will be on the summer tradition list.
