Preparation

Step 1

To prepare marinade, combine garlic, oil, sugar, rosemary, thyme, lemon rind, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss until chicken is well coated; cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours. To prepare basting sauce, combine lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, honey mustard, salt, and pepper in medium bowl; whisk. Grill chicken 16 minutes, turning once. Baste chicken with lemon juice mixture. Grill 8 more minutes, turning and basting twice until a meat thermometer inserted into chicken registers 165 degrees. Discard extra marinade and basting sauce.
