Honey Spice Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

  • Salt
  • Garlic
  • Garlic powder
  • Honey
  • Chili powder
  • Cider vinegar
  • Cumin
  • Paprika
  • Smoked paprika
  • Can
  • Juice
  • Cayenne
  • Half
  • Chicken thighs
  • Chicken
  • Ice

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the honey and cider vinegar, then add the chili powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, followed by the cayenne, cumin, and salt. Mix until the glaze looks even.
  2. If you prefer, take the skin off the chicken thighs. Set the thighs on a roasting pan, or use a baking sheet lined with foil. To mimic a roasting pan, place wire cooling racks over a baking sheet so the drippings can land underneath the chicken. Brush the honey spice mixture onto the chicken, using about half of the mixture.
  3. Once the oven is fully heated, put the chicken thighs inside. Roast for about 20 minutes. Take the chicken out of the oven and brush on a second coat with the remaining honey spice mixture. Return the chicken to the oven and continue roasting for another 20 minutes. Serve hot.
