Spiced Honey Brushed Chicken Thighs

By weavincanuck

Ingredients

• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika (I had smoked and used it)
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground red pepper
• 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• 6 Tbsp honey
• 2 tsp cider vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken to bowl; toss to coat.

Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. (Or for easy cleanup, cover the inside of a large baking pan with sides with aluminum foil. Put a wire grid tray on top of the foil to allow drippings to collect in foil for easy cleanup)

Broil chicken for 5 minutes on each side.

Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well.

Remove chicken from oven; brush 1/4 cup honey mixture over chicken and return to oven for 1 minute.

Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush chicken with remaining honey mixture.

Broil 1 minute or until chicken is done.

Notes

Boneless thighs can actually be cooked in one flat piece but I tucked meat from both sides under the main part to simulate the thigh with bone in and it cooked perfectly at this thickness.

Quick Tip from the book: Always reach for a larger bowl than you think you need. Using a bowl that is too small can result in spills and makes stirring and whisking more difficult.
