| Honey and Mustard Glazed Chicken on the BBQ |
The English summer weather is unpredictable to say the least. As I’m writing this, we’ve have torrential rain, glorious sunshine, and a lot of cloud cover over the space of just 7 days.
It’s no surprise that the English folk react so crazily when the cloud breaks and we finally get to see a bit of the sun.
When the sun comes out to play where I live the smell of
BBQ’s begins to fill the air. And I must admit my family are no different.
The beauty of a BBQ is that you can cook almost anything on
it. This summer I’ve already shown you sizzling summer prawns, char grilled tuna, as well as barbequed courgette and bulgur wheat salad. This particular
weekend however we didn’t have any special food in.  |

The sun had come as a bit of a shock. The weather man had
been saying for days we should expect the hottest weekend yet, but Saturday
came and went and it remained overcast though a little warmer than usual. With
the clouds overhead we assumed there was no point getting the BBQ out, but by
Sunday afternoon the sun was shining brightly and it was time for me to raid
the cupboards!
We’d got chicken breasts in the fridge that we intended to
use later in the week so this was where my inspiration started. I butterflied
the breast, making the surface area larger and the fillet thinner so it would
cook quicker on the BBQ.
I didn’t just want grilled chicken for dinner though. I
wanted to jazz it up a bit!
Out of the cupboard came mustard, honey, Worcestershire
sauce, red wine vinegar, pepper and garlic – and so my honey and mustard glazed
chicken was born!
