Honey Mustard Chicken

This was a great little Friday night meal for Meredith and me.  I first made a batch of home made lemonade when I got home.  It's good by itself and better with a little bourbon mixed in.
 
Lemonade:  In a small pot combine 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water.  Heat and stir until all the sugar is disolved, add to pitcher.  Add 2 cups of fresh lemon juice, 1 fresh squeezed orange, 4 cups of club soda, sliced lemons, and mint leaves.  Mix well.
 

Potatoes: These are just 4 idaho potatoes scrubbed and sliced into steak fries.  Season with salt and pepper.

Grill the potatoes over indirect heat on the weber.

Vegetables: I cut up 4 strips of bacon into inch long squares.  Cook until its almost done.  Add sliced cabbage, carrots,  celery, green scallion onions, and mushrooms.  Sautee in the bacon grease until all vegetables are tender.

Chicken: I marinaded this chicken in a honey mustard mix for about 1.5 hrs.  Pull it and season lightly with lemon pepper seasoning.  Add this to the grill over direct heat once the potatoes are fork tender and nearing completion.  Cook it over direct heat until the skin develops a nice char and is a bit crusty.  Move the chicken over to the indirect heat side of the weber to continue cooking until it's done.  Pull the potatoes and chicken all at once when finished.


Plating: I cut up my chicken legs and thighs and pulled any remaining meat off the bone.  Mix this together in a bowl with honey mustard until all chicken is lightly coated.  Plate with your sauteed cabbage and potatoes and enjoy!
