Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs

TamTastic

I have made this dish MANY times. It is SO simple and delicious. I have made it with chicken breast as well to lower the calories and fat a bit....but made as is, with a couple of light side dishes is WONDERFUL!

Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs
Skinless, boneless thighs cook quickly and are more flavorful than white meat, so they need fewer ingredients. Serve with garlic-roasted potato wedges and a salad or broccolini.



Ingredients
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
Cooking spray
6 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons 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. Broil chicken 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 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.

Yield
4 servings (serving size: 2 chicken thighs)

Trying the this seasoning on Flounder tonight....

Ohhh that sounds great!!

This is one of my fav blends...the spices and the honey! YUM!!

chrissyh

So not sure what happened but the flounder I cooked turned to mush - we threw it away

BUT I made a pan of scallops with this and it was SOOOOO good - leftovers for lunch today!

This is officially one of my favorites!

fyi - I had these again this weekend, but I baked them instead of grilled.

Still nummy & I didn't have to clean out of oven after wards. :bigsmile:

TamTastic

I am convinced you could put this mixture on almost anything and it would be good!! :laugh:

TamTastic

OH and just be careful after creating the "spice rub" mixture...that you don't rub your eye after!

Cayenne pepper + eyeball =PAIN!! :blushing:

I am making this tonight with some chicken breasts. The spice rub smelled SO good! Can't wait for it to finish! I think I will end up making a big batch of the spices so I can have it ready at anytime (and put it on everything!)

Let me know how it works in the crockpot! Did you add any water/broth?

It was awesome!!!!! I used the spices (except for the red pepper). I put the chicken thighs in the crock pot on low and let it cook for about 2 hrs. Then I poured 1 T. apple cider vinegar and 3 T. honey over the top of it and let it cook for another 2 hrs. It was soooo tender and EVERYONE (me, hubby, and 3 kids) loved it! I will definitely be making it again.

making this tonight.....sounds YUMMY!

BUMP! Making this again tonight, chicken thighs on sale today.

Thanks!

I want to make it tonight, my DH and I love spicey, is it too much for the kids?

KatWood

Just to show the state of my mind today, when I glanced and saw this topic I was thinking I want to have spicy thighs. I didn't clue in that this was a recipe, I was thinking hot, sexy thighs and wishing I had some :laugh:

My wife thought it was too spicy at times. Apparently a few spots retained too much of the chili powder or red peppers. I noticed very little spice. But my spice tolerance is a little higher.

I would say its probably on par with a medium salsa.
