Carolina Style Barbecue Chicken

This is a recipe that I have tried before, but thanks to my not paying attention to the chicken, it got a bit charred and was not fit for photographing.  It still tasted good, that's why I decided I need to make it again!  This time, I went with the boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of a full chicken, and in the end, it ended up tasting wonderful and the photos are at least acceptable!  And, that my friends, is really all that counts!

It's simple, it's tangy, it once again, screams summer!  Mmmmmmm.... Barbecue!!!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup yellow mustard
3 Tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons hot sauce (I used Cholula)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
kosher salt and pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions:
In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the salt, pepper, and chicken.  Remove a quarter to half of the mixture and set aside.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.  Pour the other half of the mixture over the chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Preheat grill to medium and oil the grill grates.  Remove the chicken from the marinade and place directly over the fire.  Grill 6-9 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through.  Serve with reserved sauce.  Enjoy!
