Instructions
To marinate:
- Combine the Mazola Corn Oil, mustard, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, garlic, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a freezer bag or other resalable container. Add the chicken, turning to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
To cook:
- Preheat the grill for direct cooking over medium heat.
- While the grill heats, remove the chicken from the marinade. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken. Grill over direct heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the chicken is firm, opaque, with an internal temperature of 165°F, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
