Instructions
-
Prepare the Grill: Fire up your BBQ to medium heat, ensuring it’s ready for grilling.
-
-
Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, grainy mustard, honey, curry powder, salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and either cinnamon or allspice until well combined.
-
Baste the Chicken: Use a basting brush to coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring every surface is evenly covered.
-
Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the preheated grill.
-
Cooking Process: Grill the chicken, turning frequently and brushing with any remaining marinade. It’s crucial to baste only during the first five minutes of cooking to ensure the marinade cooks thoroughly.
-
Ensure Doneness: After five minutes, continue grilling for an additional five minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
-
Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle the chicken with fresh coriander for a burst of flavor. This dish pairs wonderfully with Fast Tropical Mango Salsa, adding a refreshing contrast to the rich curry notes.
-
Baked Alternative: If you prefer to bake, you can double the marinade recipe, place the chicken in a foil-covered baking dish, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through. This method goes exceptionally well with Pad Thai for a delightful meal.
