Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs

Superfast Chicken Supper! Skinless, boneless thighs cook quickly and are more flavorful than white meat, so they need fewer ingredients. Serve with garlic-roasted potato wedges and a salad or broccolini "baby broccoli".

Yield - 4 servings (serving size: 2 chicken thighs)

Ingredients

• 2  teaspoons  garlic powder
• 2  teaspoons  chili powder
• 1  teaspoon  salt

• 1  teaspoon  paprika
• 1/2  teaspoon  ground red pepper
• 8  skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• Cooking spray
• 6  tablespoons  honey
• 2  teaspoons  cider vinegar

Preparation

Preheat broiler. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken to bowl; toss to coat. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil chicken 5 minutes on each side.

Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well. Remove chicken from oven; brush 1/4 cup honey mixture on chicken. Broil 1 minute. Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush chicken with remaining honey mixture. Broil 1 additional minute or until chicken is done.
