2 split broiling chicken halves
2 tablespoons honey

Bring marinade to a boil on the stovetop, and cook for 3 minutes at a rapid boil; allow to cool.
Place chicken, bone side down, on grill over medium-hot coals or medium setting; cook, covered for 10-15 minutes until golden brown, watching for little fires.
Turn chicken over; cook for 10-15 minutes more or until golden brown.
Stir honey and dijon mustard into marinade; brush over chicken and cook, turning and brushing with marinade, 10-15 minutes longer or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cut into serving size pieces and serve.
