Michelle’s Spicy Honey Chicken


8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 2 lbs
2 tsp vegetable oil
Rub:
2 tsp granulated garlic
2 tsp chili powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp coriander
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp chipotle chili pepper
Glaze:
½ cup honey
1 TB cider vinegar

Combine the rub spices in bowl and mix well.
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 2TB honey glaze for later. Take the rest and brush on chicken (both sides) in the final moments of grilling.
Drizzle the reserved glaze on chicken after taking it off the grill.
