Recently I ran across a spicy/sweet glaze for chicken and thought my crew would like it - a little something for everybody. Unfortunately, they all said the same thing - "It's good except for the bones." Now really? Thigh bones are big and easy to pull right out. What's the big deal?
Next time I use this recipe (and I will), I'll find the boneless thighs and we'll all be happy. The glaze was a perfect combination of heat and sweet, coating the chicken nicely.
Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken
1 package chicken thighs (4 thighs per package)
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. fresh cracked pepper
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 cup honey
1 T. apple cider vinegar
Directions:
Mix spices together and set aside.
Mix honey and cider vinegar and set aside.
Lay chicken thighs flat in a spray coated 8x8x2 baking dish or on a small sheet pan. Cover both sides in spices.
Broil for 5-7 minutes on oven rack at least 6 inches from broiler. Flip and cook for a 5-7 minutes on other side. Flip again and then baste in honey/cider mixture. Coat well.
Return to oven and cook under the broiler for a few minutes more until the glaze starts to thicken. (Don't worry if it smokes a little).
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Recipe can easily be doubled.
* If you have a gas oven with broiler at the bottom, bake at 400 degrees for about 15 - 20 minutes.
