Spicy Honey Chicken

The picture above is DH's handiwork...or rather, DHGM (Dear Husband-Grill Master) as he's been requested to be called on my blog :)

I got this one from Leigh -- her recipes are always fantastic!

Since DHGM finally, FINALLY was able to buy a grill (he's so happy!), I included a lot of grill-friendly recipes in this week.

This chicken can be done inside, under the broiler, or outside, on the grill. I love those flexible recipes!

Spicy Honey Chicken

(your home based mom)

*Note: You can change the "spicy" aspect of this recipe by how much cayenne pepper you put in!)

8 boneless, skinless, chicken thighs (I used chicken thighs, but bone in, and some leftover boneless breasts)

Rub:

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Glaze:

6 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Directions

- Combine the first six, 'rub' ingredients in a bowl and mix well

- Clean excess fat from chicken pieces and add pieces to bowl of spices, rubbing to coat

- Brush grill surface lightly with olive oil, and grill chicken for a few minutes on each side, until cooked through

- Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring until well combined

- Brush mixture onto chicken (both sides) in the final moments of grilling

- Since the glaze is sugar-based, you'l need to turn the heat down so your chicken doesn't burn; leave it on the grill a fw moments to caramelize

- You can also use these steps inside, under your broiler
