Recipe (no adaptations this time!):
Spicy Honey Chicken
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2lbs) **
2 t vegetable oil
**She really recommends using chicken thighs, they stay more moist than chicken breasts....I gave it a try, and the first time, when I grilled them, it was pretty good....the 2nd time, when I baked them, not so much. Sorry, just kinda a white meat girl!!
Rub:
2 t granulated garlic
2 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t coriander
1 t kosher salt
1 t cumin
1/2 t chipotle chili powder (this was the only ingredient I didn't already have in my cupboard, glad I do now!)
Mix all "rub" ingredients well in a bowl.
2 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t coriander
1 t kosher salt
1 t cumin
1/2 t chipotle chili powder (this was the only ingredient I didn't already have in my cupboard, glad I do now!)
Mix all "rub" ingredients well in a bowl.
Glaze:
1/2 C Honey
1T Cider Vinegar
1/2 C Honey
1T Cider Vinegar
Warm the honey in the microwave to thin it out a bit, then stir in the vinegar.
Trim all the excess fat from your chicken (ick!) and pat dry. Cover the chicken pieces with the oil, rub it around to coat all of them. Toss the chicken with the dry rub mixture, coating them all evenly and well. (You're gonna have to get your hands in there, much as you (ok "I"!!) might not want to!) Grill the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked all the way through.
Set aside 2T of the honey glaze to use at the end. When the chicken is nearly cooked take the rest of the glaze and brush it on the chicken, coating both sides. This could (will!) make a big mess, grilling sugar, just be prepared! When the chicken is completely cooked take your reserved glaze and drizzle it over the chicken, yummy :)
Approval Level:
This chicken was YUMMY - and the grilling of it, not hard at all :) (note: made this again in Nov - didn't grill it - was NOT as good - grill it. Just sayin'......)
