Spicy Honey Chicken

Spicy Honey Chicken
This was our second spicy chicken of the week.  It is also another quick chicken dish because it uses a rub instead of a marinade.  We grilled the chicken and then broiled them in the oven with the honey glaze – I did want to have to clean the grill after the sticky honey melted on it.  The chicken was very juicy and flavorful.  The heat wasn’t overpowering by any means.  It was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy.  It was also easy and low-cal if you care about that kind of stuff.

(Printable Recipe)

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded to an even thickness
1 tsp vegetable oil

Rub:
1 t granulated garlic
1 t chili powder
¼ t onion powder
¼ t coriander
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp chipotle chili powder

Glaze:
½ C Honey
1T 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 2T honey glaze for later. Brush the chicken with the honey mixture and place under the broiler and heat until bubbly.
