Memorial Day is coming up, marking the unofficial start of the grilling season. If you’re planning a big outdoor cookout, your first instinct might be to throw some burgers and hot dogs on the grill and call it a day. But why serve up the usual cooked hamburgers when you can delight your guests with a delicious, juicy recipe that’s packed with flavor? This Memorial Day, skip the hot dogs and serve up a batch of juicy grilled chicken that’s guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
Soaked in a rich, hearty marinade, this grilled chicken is bursting with flavor. Ingredients include Dijon mustard, port wine, molasses, and Worcestershire sauce, all blending together perfectly to create a tangy marinade that puts a new spin on the traditional grilled chicken. This recipe is more time-consuming than throwing some chicken on the grill, as you’ll need to soak the chicken in the marinade overnight–but once you take your first bite, you’ll be glad that you did. This delicious recipe could easily become a new tradition at your house, one that your guests will look forward to year after year.
