Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup maple-flavored syrup
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb)
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. In 1-quart saucepan, mix maple syrup, mustard and chives.
  • 2
    Sprinkle both sides of chicken pieces with seasoned salt and pepper. Cover and grill chicken over medium heat, skin sides up, 15 minutes; turn chicken. Cover and grill 20 to 40 minutes longer, turning occasionally and brushing 2 or 3 times with mustard mixture, until juice of chicken is clear when thickest piece is cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and legs).
  • 3
    Heat remaining mustard mixture to boiling; boil 1 minute. Serve sauce with chicken.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you have real maple syrup, use it instead of the maple-flavored syrup.
  • tip 2
    Feeding a large crowd? Just double the recipe.
  • tip 3
    Brushing with the sauce during the last part of the cooking time keeps it from burning. Remember this any time you have a sauce with sugar in it.
  • tip 4
    Coleslaw, baked beans, buttermilk biscuits and strawberry shortcake are perfect accompaniments to this tasty chicken. Don't forget the lemonade!
