Memorial Day 2010 Recipes: Grilled Mustard Chicken with Slaw

When it comes to Memorial Day cooking, grilling is where it all begins. For those looking to stretch beyond the boundaries of traditional steaks and burgers, and side dishes like potato salad and coleslaw, this dish will come as a welcome derivative. Hot off the presses is the new June issues of Bon Appetit (www.bonappetit.com/recipes), with a section they call “Fast Easy Fresh,” focusing on all the key concepts that summer dining should embrace.

While there’s nothing wrong with the traditional dishes made every year for Memorial Day and Fourth of July, this twist on barbecued chicken and coleslaw puts a fresh taste to some old favorites.
