Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried basil. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, mustards, hot sauce, vinegar, and paprika until combined and smooth. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the sauce for basting, and the rest for dipping.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 2 minutes per side to get grill marks. Brush with half of the basting sauce, close the grill, and cook for 7 minutes.
- Uncover, flip the chicken, brush with more basting sauce, and continue to cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 8 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved honey mustard sauce for dipping.
Notes
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference. For thicker chicken breasts, the cooking time may need to be extended.
