Spicy Honey-Glazed Chicken Thighs
These delicious spicy honey-glazed chicken thighs are healthy, super easy to make, and absolutely PACKED with flavor. They're a great dinner any night of the week!
Servings: 4 -6 servings
Ingredients
- 6-8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (1 1/2 to 2 lbs, amount is flexible)
- 2 teaspoons of chili powder
- 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes this is a bit spicy for me
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 cup of honey use more if you want
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Heat up your grill to around 500 F. I prefer to make these on the grill, but you can do air fryer with similar instructions or oven if you prefer (either entirely broiler, or 425F then broiler).
- Un-tuck the chicken thighs so they are flat. Pat dry with paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the spices. Use your hands to cover both sides of the chicken with the seasoning, then set flat onto a plate (or sheet pan if you're using the oven).
- Add the chicken to the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.
- While it's cooking, whip up the glaze by stirring together the honey and apple cider vinegar.
- Once the chicken is pretty much done, use a silicone basting brush to glaze it, flip, and glaze the other side. Then cook for another minute before removing from the grill (you want the thickest part of each thigh to hit 165F).
- Remove from the grill onto a plate, let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- These amounts are very flexible overall, if you only have one package and it's around 1 lb, just halve the spices but make about the same amount of glaze
