Spicy Honey Chicken


8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 2lbs
2 tsp. vegetable oil
Rub
2 tsp. granulated garlic
2 tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. coriander
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. cumin
½ tsp. chipotle chili powder
Glaze
½ c honey
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar

Preheat grill to medium-high heat or about 400°.

Combine the rub spices in bowl and mix well.

Trim any visible fat off the chicken thighs, rinse and pat dry with a paper towel. Drizzle oil over chicken and rub in with your hands to lightly coat all the pieces. Rub the chicken with the spice rub, coating all sides well. Grill chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

Prepare the glaze while chicken is cooking.  Warm honey in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Whisk in the vinegar.

Reserve 2 Tbsps. honey glaze and brush the rest on both sides of the chicken in the final moments of grilling.  Leave your grill on for a few minutes after the chicken is done to burn off any excess glaze. (If you don’t have a bbq, try it on an indoor grill pan or use your broiler. Just be sure to open a window in case you burn your glaze!)


Drizzle the remaining glaze on top while it is standing.
