Are you just loving this warmer weather like I am? I have loved spending time with my family in the backyard and eating almost all our dinners from the grill. My kids love hamburgers and hotdogs while my husband and I have had those plus steak, chicken, and salmon. Sweet and Spicy Chicken is our latest grilled meal and it was so good! I love that it’s not too spicy and how has just the right amount of sweetness and zest. You only need two ingredients for the marinade: Italian dressing and French’s® Spicy Brown Mustard. So easy and a great chicken dish right off the grill!

French’s® Spicy Brown Mustard

Although French’s is known for its iconic Classic Yellow mustard, did you know that it also has a deliciously bold tasting Spicy Brown mustard AND a smooth & creamy Dijon? I used the smooth & creamy Dijon to make Ham and Cheese Pinwheels for my family and everyone loved them. This week we got bold with the big taste of French’s Spicy Brown. It’s the kick that goes way beyond French’s Classic Yellow mustard, making everything from brats and hoagies, to burgers and foot longs come alive with flavor. So, squeeze it on thick and make the ordinary incredible!

I love a nice, grilled piece of chicken. This recipe is particularly juicy and has a great flavor with that marinade. And it’s so easy! I hope you love this recipe and enjoy the rest of your grilling season.
