Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard powder
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/4 pounds)
  • Vegetable oil, for brushing
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • Prepared macaroni salad, for serving (optional)

Method

  • Preheat a grill to medium.
  • Whisk the yellow mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard powder, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl.
  • Whisk in the butter.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with about one-third of the mustard sauce in a large bowl until coated.
  • Let sit at room temperature, 10 minutes.
  • Brush the grill grates generously with vegetable oil.
  • Put about 1/4 cup of the remaining mustard sauce in a small bowl for basting and reserve the rest for topping.
  • Grill the chicken, covered, basting occasionally with the sauce, until well marked and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken with the reserved mustard sauce, sliced tomato and macaroni salad, if desired.
