This recipe is absolutely delicious. It is very summery recipe since you can grill and enjoy a nice summer afternoon. I got this recipe from the Publix Family Style Magazine Summer 2010 edition. I have made the recipe once and cant wait to make it again. It is very good and can be made pretty quickly!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup pineapple juice (sweetened or unsweetened)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, minced
12 chicken thighs (skinned if desired) or 12 chicken drumsticks (skinned if desired)
salt
fresh ground pepper
Directions:
1. For the sauce, in a small saucepan combine pineapple juice, honey, mustard, soy sauce, cornstarch and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 more minute. Remove from heat. Transfer half of the sauce to a bowl; cover and set aside.
2. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. For charcoal grill arrange medium-hot coals around drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place chicken on grill rack over drip pan. Cover; grill until chicken is no longer pink or 165 degrees Farenheit, brushing frequently with remaining sauce during the last 5 minutes of grilling. (For gas grill preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.).
3. Note: If you do not have cornstarch on hand, you can substitute with 3 Tsp of all purpose flour.
