Equipment
- broiler pan
Ingredients
Chicken Thighs:
- 4 pieces skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 4 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- as needed cooking spray
Honey Glaze:
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
Instructions
- Combine the garlic powder, chili powder, salt, ground cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a sizable bowl.
For Chicken:
- Introduce the chicken thighs into the spice mixture and thoroughly coat them. Allow marinating for approximately 2 hours to enhance flavor absorption.
- Preheat your broiler and prepare a broiler pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
- Arrange the chicken on the broiler pan and broil on low for 15 to 20 minutes per side, turning them halfway through cooking.
For Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and cider vinegar until well mixed.
- Once the chicken is broiled, remove it from the oven and brush each thigh with the honey glaze generously.
- Return the chicken to the broiler for an additional 5 minutes, or until it attains a golden-brown appearance without burning.
- Continue brushing and broiling the opposite side. After finishing, allow the chicken to rest on a platter for several minutes.
- If there is any remaining glaze, apply a final brush to the chicken right before serving.
