Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce*
  • 2-3 tsp maple syrup, or honey

Equipment

  • Traeger or Pellet Grill

Method

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and set in a glass bowl or container.
  2. Combine the mustard, soy sauce, and maple syrup to make the marinade.
  3. Coat the chicken thighs well in the marinade and set aside, covered, in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
  4. Preheat the traeger to 450°F. This should take about 15-20 minutes in warm weather.
  5. Place the chicken on the hot grill close to the hot spot skin side down. Cook for 30 minutes total, flipping after 20 min and rotating to ensure they cook evenly.
  6. Check that they are above 165°F - ours ranged 170-180°F. Do not cook above 200°F as they will begin to dry out. Enjoy!
