Spicy Honey Chicken

(Recipe by Our Best Bites)

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 2lbs

2 t vegetable oil

Rub:

2 t granulated garlic

2 t chili powder

1/2 t onion powder

1 t kosher salt

1 t cumin

1/2 t chipotle chili powder

Glaze:

1/2 C Honey

1T Cider Vinegar


Use kitchen shears (or a pair of clean scissors) to trim off any excess fat from the chicken pieces. Pat dry. 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 for 3-5 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 2T honey glaze for later. Take the rest and brush on chicken (both sides) in the final moments of grilling. Will make a lot of smoke but totally worth it. After grilling is complete, drizzle extra honey on top and enjoy!
