Spicy Honey Chicken

Spicy Honey Chicken (adapted from The Girl Who Ate Everything)

2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 6-8 thighs)

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp paprika (smoked paprika is awesome in this)

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp coriander

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp cumin

1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or cayenne pepper)

Glaze:

1/3 cup honey

1 1/2 Tb apple cider vinegar

Stir the spices together in a small bowl.

Trim the chicken and pat dry. We cut each breast in half, and butterflied the thicker halves, to make them thinner and faster to cook. Sprinkle the spices on both sides of the chicken and rub in. Let set 30 min to 2 hours.

Warm the honey in the microwave and stir in the vinegar. Start grilling the chicken. After about a minute, the spices on the bottom will have cooked onto the chicken, so flip it and brush the honey on generously. Cook 3-4 more minutes, then flip again, brushing again with honey. When chicken is cooked through, remove from the grill and place under foil, or a lid, on a plate to stay warm while the rest of the chicken cooks. Brush with a bit more honey as it sits. *The dripping honey WILL smoke, so be prepared!*

If you don't have a bbq grill, try it on an indoor grill pan or under the broiler. If cooking under the broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack in the pan, and the chicken on the rack. You don't want honey burned on to your pan!! Oh, and open a window in case it gets smoky.
