This chicken is wonderfully sweet and spicy. Not too sweet and just right with the spices. It kind of reminds me of the Chinese chicken on a stick. My family loved it and kept asking when I would make it again. I used thighs, I am sure you could use breasts. I like thighs because they are always moist and to me more flavorful. Also, cheaper. I hope you try this chicken, and like it as much as we do.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

After enjoying once your family will request these spicy honey-glazed chicken thighs again. The rub is savory and spicy. It soaks into the chicken and flavors the juicy chicken thighs. They're topped with a tangy and sweet glaze that caramelizes while under the broiler. The rub and glaze can also be used on chicken breasts or chicken wings.

How To Make spicy honey-glazed chicken thighs

Step 1

If only making 1/2 the amount of chicken, cut the amount of spices in half. In a large bowl; combine the first 6 ingredients.

Step 2

Add chicken to bowl; toss to coat well. Let it sit in the spices for a good 2 hours.
Step 3

Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
Step 4

Broil chicken on low for 15 - 20 minutes on each side. Turn chicken halfway through cooking.
Step 5

Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl; stirring well.
Step 6

Remove the chicken from the oven; brush each thigh with the honey mixture.
Step 7

Place back under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until starts to get a golden brown, making sure not to burn.
Step 8

Repeat on the other side. Place on a platter and let it rest for a few minutes. If any glaze is left, brush each thigh again, right before serving.
