Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half.

- Coat the chicken with the mixture.
- Grill or broil the chicken 6 to 8 inches from the heat source for 10 to 20 minutes until cooked through, turning 2 to 3 times.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider adding minced garlic or cayenne pepper to the marinade. If you don’t have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard can work in a pinch. For a smoky flavor, try using smoked paprika. Make sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for deeper flavor absorption before grilling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the spicy grilled chicken with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Chicken And Broccoli Braid for a family-friendly dinner. Consider serving it with a tangy dipping sauce to complement the flavors, and enjoy it in sandwiches or wraps for lunch the next day.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it can dry out the meat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skin-on chicken for this recipe?
Yes, skin-on chicken can be used, but it may require slightly longer cooking time. The skin will add extra flavor and moisture. Just make sure to monitor the heat to prevent burning the skin while ensuring the chicken cooks through.
What if I don't have a grill?
If you don't have a grill, you can broil the chicken in your oven. Place the chicken on a broiler pan and adjust your oven rack to the upper position. Broil for 10-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked.
How can I make this dish less spicy?
To reduce the heat, simply use less hot pepper sauce or opt for a milder variety. You can also balance the flavors by adding a touch of honey or brown sugar to the marinade, which will create a sweeter profile that counters the spice.
