All-Star Grilled Chicken

The BEST marinade for grilled chicken thighs with simple ingredients like soy sauce and dijon mustard. Try the chicken on a buttered bun for a simple but delicious alternative to burgers or hot dogs!

If y’all follow me on Instagram you might have caught this already but ol’ Brutus made the all-star baseball team! We’re crazy excited!

We’ve been practicing like mad so it’s been hard to eat good home-cooked meals and make new stuff for the blog.

Since we’re practically living at the ball field now I decided to take the blog to practice :)

We have a really nice ball park which has a huge grill for members. Side note: you know you're in the South when the baseball park has a barbeque grill big enough to cook a hog on. I suggested we have a cookout and everyone pitched in to bring stuff.

I’d concocted this marinade for chicken a month or so ago and we just fell in love with it so I figured it would be great if we marinated chicken thighs in it, grilled them up and made super simple chicken sandwiches. And that’s exactly what we did!

Hold up, this mama's got to share... are these not the toughest (cutest!) little ballers you've ever seen?? UPDATE: These guys went on to win the Sub-District Championship, win the District Championship and finish in the top half at the State Championship. So proud of them and their coaches!!

I like using thighs over breasts because you just about can’t overcook them. They stay moist and juicy and have so much more flavor. But since I know somebody’s going to ask anyway, yes, you can use breasts.

They just won’t be as good.

Hmmph.

Looking for an alternative to burgers and dogs? Have an All-Star Chicken Sandwich in a simple buttered bun with a drizzle of Cajun White Barbeque Sauce (recipe included here too).

You can serve these as-is or make sandwiches with them like we did. I think this is a great alternative to grilling burgers if you have a crowd to feed. The way we served these was just on a simple buttered bun with a drizzle of Cajun White Barbeque Sauce (recipe below).

I like a few slices of dill pickle on the bottom too but other than that, I don't serve anything extra with the sandwiches. It's like eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich - simple bet perfectly delicious!

And unlike with burgers you don't need to buy and prep a wagon load of condiments and extras like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, mayo, mustard, ketchup, etc.

I got distracted and didn’t take a photo of this as a sandwich OR with the Cajun White Barbeque Sauce on top but here’s what the chicken looked like when it came off the grill.

And I’d like to go on the record and tell you our third baseman, Cat Daddy, ate two of these and told me they were “seriously really delicious good!”

That’s a pretty heavy compliment coming from an 8-year old ;)
