    I made this last night. YUM!

    I used regular old chicken thighs with the skin removed (myself). Baked them at 450 (because I was also making roasted potatoes at that temp) for 25 minutes. I turned them 1/2 way through and then a few minutes before pulling them from the oven, basted with the honey/cider mixture...waited a minute or two...turned again, basted again...a few more minutes in and then they were done!

    Soooo yummy. For personal taste, I will likely reduce the cumin next time and maybe even the cayenne...they packed quite a punch!

    I will try this mixture again....I'm thinking shrimp would be GREAT!


    Did your chicken thighs release a lot of water during cooking? I made this and it was REALLY tasty. But toward the end I felt like I was boiling the chicken in its own juices. And a lot of the honey brush stuff was kinda washed away? Ideas? Tips? I'm doing it wrong? haha.

    My Lord - That was good. My son (8 yrs old) is a picky eater and he wanted me to promise to give him this recipe when he gets "old" and has kids.

    here, we found it waaaay to spicy :noway: ! I must say, we're not used to eat spicy food (I know, I know, its called "Spicy chicken" .... not wimpy chicken :laugh: ) Next time, instead of rolling the chicken in the spice mix, I' sprinkle it on... And maybe I'll water down my vinegar; I didn't have cider vinegar, so I used plain white vinegar instead. Or maybe just honey?
    Tasted good, though :wink:

    Had these last night - used skinless thighs with bone-best batch I've made to date....I am really disappointed that we ate it all and there's no leftovers for lunch!

    I've made this quite a few times with chicken and it's wonderful!

    Last night my husband and I used the same recipe but with pork instead. We upped the garlic (because we LOVE garlic) and it was totally awesome!!! Love it! :heart:

    I'm not familiar with Ground Red Pepper. Does that mean Cayenne, red pepper flakes (like you put on pizza) or is it something else?

    Thanks!

    This is a spicy recipe. And my clumsy self actually touched my eye after touching the cayenne pepper. Not good!! :tongue: :laugh: :wink:

    I think you can modify this however you want. Tone down the spices, use more of one than another, use chicken thighs, breasts, etc.

    I have wanted to try it on salmon too!! :love: :love: And I love the shrimp idea!! :drinker:

    I made this last night on shrimp to use to put in a salad for today's lunch. It was delicious.

    I used this Avocado Dressing on top: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/44362-avocado-salad-dressing?hl=avocado+dressing#posts-460677

    Just made this tonight with boneless skinless breasts. Dad loved it, but it was a little spicy for mom, even though I halved the ground red pepper. Anyway, I liked it. And the meat was very juicy! Would definitely make again. Thanks a bunch!
