Transform your grilled chicken with this mustard-based marinade magic

If you want to give your chicken a unique flavour and aroma, there's nothing better than the suitable marinade. Thanks to a simple recipe combining mustard's intensity with aromatic herbs, your grilled chicken will become a true feast for the palate.

Are you looking for a way to perfect grilled chicken? Juicy, fragrant, and full of flavour? We have the perfect solution for you - the best mustard-based chicken marinade! Just a few simple ingredients and a moment of mixing to create true magic on the grill.

The secret lies in simplicity

This marinade is the essence of delicious grilling. The combination of mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and herbs creates a perfect balance of flavours that brings out the best in the chicken. Mustard adds a spicy note, lemon juice a hint of acidity, garlic aroma, olive oil juiciness, and the herbs complement it all with a touch of Provencal freshness.

Choose your variant

The basic recipe provides the perfect base for further experiments. Like spicier flavours? Choose Dijon mustard. Do you prefer milder versions? Opt for a delicatessen mustard. Add fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, basil, or thyme. Experiment with spices like hot paprika, curry, or wild garlic. The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients for the best chicken marinade:

• 60 g Dijon mustard,
• about 20 mL lemon juice,
• 2 cloves of garlic,
• 60 mL oil (e.g., olive oil),
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper,
• 1/2 teaspoon salt,
• 1 teaspoon crushed coriander,
• 1 teaspoon thyme,
• 1 teaspoon basil.

Quick and easy marinating

Preparing the marinade will take you just a few minutes. Mix all the ingredients in a jar, then thoroughly coat the chicken pieces - filet, thighs, or perhaps delicate turkey meat? The choice is yours! Marinating takes about an hour, but if you have time, leave the chicken in the marinade overnight - the meat will be even more aromatic and juicy.

Grill and enjoy!

Once the chicken is well-marinated, it's time for the grill! Heat the grill grate, grill pan, or electric grill and grill the chicken until it's golden and cooked to the desired doneness. Serve with your favourite sides, such as grilled vegetables, baked potatoes, salad, or sauce.
