# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - Salt, to taste
03 - Black pepper, to taste
04 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
07 - 0.5 teaspoon dried basil

→ Honey Mustard Sauce

08 - 60 millilitres honey
09 - 28 grams butter, melted
10 - 15 millilitres Dijon mustard
11 - 15 millilitres yellow mustard
12 - 15 millilitres wholegrain mustard
13 - 10 millilitres hot sauce, optional
14 - 2.5 millilitres white vinegar
15 - 0.5 gram paprika

# Steps:

01 - Heat grill to medium-high temperature in preparation for cooking.
02 - Season chicken breasts on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried basil; then set aside.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, wholegrain mustard, hot sauce (if using), white vinegar, and paprika until fully blended and smooth.
04 - Transfer 60 millilitres of the prepared honey mustard sauce into a separate bowl for basting; reserve remaining sauce for serving.
05 - Lightly brush grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
06 - Place chicken breasts on the grill and sear for 2 minutes on one side; turn and sear for an additional 2 minutes.
07 - Brush chicken breasts with half of the reserved basting sauce. Close the grill and cook for 7 minutes.
08 - Open the grill, flip chicken, and brush with remaining basting sauce. Continue grilling uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 74°C.
09 - Remove chicken from grill and let rest on a cutting board for 8 minutes to retain juices.
10 - Slice chicken and present with the reserved honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - Allowing chicken to rest after grilling ensures maximum juiciness and even slicing.
02 - Use a digital meat thermometer to confirm chicken reaches 74°C at its thickest point.
03 - If using hot sauce, adjust quantity to desired spice level.
