Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs



In the interest of full disclosure, I botched this recipe last night. I was distracted and broiled the the sass out of the chicken until the skin was a crunchy sheet of charcoal; and it was STILL good. Any recipe that can withstand that kind of abuse is a keeper as far as I am concerned!

Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 25 min

2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
6 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Yield: 2 servings
- Combine first 6 ingredients and coat chicken thighs. Place chicken in a zip-lock bag and refrigerate 1 hour
- Preheat to 400
- Cook chicken at 400 for 20 min.
- Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well.
- Remove chicken from oven; brush 1/4 cup honey mixture on chicken. Broil 1 minute.
- Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush chicken with remaining honey mixture. Broil 1 additional minute or until chicken is done.
