Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs

By Pagingdrstarling

One of the most popular Cooking Light chicken recipes, these sweet and spicy grilled chicken thighs are flavored with chili powder, cumin, garlic and cider vinegar. If your broiler cooks unevenly - buy bone in chicken thighs and cook them with the spices on. Begin brushing the honey mixture on ones they're done with the broiler on to get a nice crisp.

Ingredients

• 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
• Cooking spray
• 6 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Preparation

Step 1
