about this recipe

gluten-free dairy-free refined sugar free

This honey mustard marinade recipe is a snap to prepare and works well as a marinade for grilled or baked chicken, pork, beef, salmon. Or as a sauce for drizzling on just about anything! The best part? It all comes together in just a mason jar.

STEP 1:

In a quart sized mason jar or medium bowl, add honey, Dijon, whole grain mustard, and salt. Use a fork or small whisk to mix until combined.

STEP 2:

Add the vinegar and oil, stirring again. If using a mason jar, add the lid and shake vigorously until well combined.

STEP 3:

Use immediately or store, covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to come to room temperature before using!

For vegan, use agave, maple syrup, or coconut nectar in place of honey. For sugar-free, simply skip the honey and add an additional 2 tablespoons of mustard. For a spicier marinade, try using a spicy brown mustard & adding red pepper flakes.

what's the best mustard to use?

You can use any mustard you like for this recipe! Including basic yellow mustard, spicy mustard, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, or a combination of the above. I chose Dijon for a bit of heat, along with whole grain mustard to offer some texture but you can use any you have on hand!

To a zip-top bag or shallow baking dish, add 1/3 cup honey mustard marinade to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Uncover and discard the marinade before grilling!
