"The summertime staple for juicy, tangy poultry."
The Story
As grilling culture exploded in the late 20th century, French's began printing this simple marinade on their iconic squeeze bottles to show mustard's versatility beyond a hot dog condiment. The vinegar and mustard seed in the yellow mustard act as a natural tenderizer for chicken breasts, making it a quick weeknight dinner favorite.
