There is nothing quite like firing up the grill for some classic chicken quarters. The combination of succulent meat and that delicious crispy skin makes this a favorite for backyard gatherings and simple weeknight dinners.

I love using a honey Dijon marinade because it caramelizes beautifully over the flames. For the best results, try to let the chicken sit in the marinade for at least an hour so the flavors can really soak into the meat.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken leg quarters
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken leg quarters in a large bowl or a sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them.

  3. 3

    Massage the marinade into the chicken, then cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or up to overnight.

  4. 4

    Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.

  5. 5

    Place the chicken on the grill skin side down and cook for about 10 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  7. 7

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This chicken is delicious served cold over a fresh garden salad or reheated for a quick lunch.
