Spicy Honey Chicken

This is cookin' in my oven right now and is really good. I'm sure it'd be even better if you could grill the chicken.

Ingredients:

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (you can use breasts but thighs are better)
2 T. vegetable oil

Rub:
2 t granulated garlic
2 t chilli powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t coriander
1 t kosher salt (I use regular salt.)
1 t cumin
1/2 t chipotle chili powder

Glaze:
1/2 cup honey
1 T cider vinegar

Directions:
Combine the rub spices in bowl and mix well.

Drizzle oil over chicken and rub in with your hands to lightly coat all the pieces. Then toss chicken with the spice rub to coat all sides well. Use your hands and get in there! Grill chicken (I just bake it) a few minutes on each side, until cooked through.

While chicken is cooking, warm honey in the microwave so it's not so thick. Add the vinegar and combine well. Reserve 2 T honey glaze for later. Take the rest and brush on chicken (both sides) in the final moments of cooking.

Drizzle the extra glaze on top and serve.


Try it you guys! You won't be disappointed!
