Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs

These flavors all blend together well and create a deliciously flavorful chicken entrée. It’s a nice change from grilled chicken breast and it’s easy to prepare.  I served it with sautéed fresh spinach and mushrooms.  Yum!

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

6 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

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

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

Cook chicken on pre-heated outdoor grill.  Brush honey and vinegar mixture on the chicken after you flip the chicken.  Flip a second time and brush mixture on the other side and finish grilling chicken.

Serve immediately.  I really can’t remember where I first found this recipe as I’ve had the recipe for years.  It does list the calorie count as 321 calories per serving, which is 2 thighs.  Not bad for a chicken thigh that sometimes gets a bad rap!
