Treat Mom (or yourself) to something unforgettable this Mother’s Day with our **Citrus-Herb Grilled Chicken** — juicy, buttery, and kissed with bright Florida flavor. This recipe is simple enough for a Sunday cookout but elegant enough to steal the show at any Mother’s Day table. Featuring a glaze made with **honey, orange juice, and thyme**, and seasoned with our signature All Purp or if you want more of a kick Sunburn.
No fancy equipment needed — this recipe works beautifully on your grill, smoker, or stovetop grill pan. Just make sure to baste that glaze at the end to create that golden, caramelized finish that tastes like summer on a plate.
Pro tip: Don’t skimp on the resting time — it lets all those buttery juices lock in for maximum tenderness and flavor. Serve it up with grilled asparagus, a glass of wine, and good company. You just made Mother’s Day legendary.
