Spiced Honey Brushed Chicken Thighs

A sweet and spicy dish that can be ready from start to finish in less than 25 minutes.

I know I have been away for a while. The past month have been pretty busy for me and my family. Things are finally starting to slow down though so I should be posting a lot more than I have been. Anyways, let’s get on with the recipe.

Ingredients

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp paprika (I had smoked and used it)

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground red pepper

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

6 Tbsp honey

2 tsp cider vinegar

Preparation

Preheat broiler

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken to bowl; toss to coat.

Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. (Or for easy cleanup, cover the inside of a large baking pan with sides with aluminum foil. Put a wire grid tray on top of the foil to allow drippings to collect in foil for easy cleanup)

Broil chicken for 5 minutes on each side.

Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well.

Remove chicken from oven; brush 1/4 cup honey mixture over chicken and return to oven for 1 minute.

Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush chicken with remaining honey mixture.

Broil 1 minute or until chicken is done.

*Serve with your favorite side of veggies.
