Ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil or other neutral oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup Spicy Mustard BBQ Sauce (Carolina Gold) divided
Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce
- ¾ cup yellow mustard
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper reduce to a pinch for less spicy
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, combine the oil, salt, and ¼ cup of the BBQ sauce. Pour over the chicken and ensure each piece is coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F. Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
- Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, per side, depending on the thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. In the last few minutes of grilling, brush ¼ of the yellow BBQ sauce on the chicken to create a glaze.
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving with the remaining BBQ sauce.
Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce
- Whisk together all the ingredients in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature. Season to taste with salt and additional cayenne as needed.
