Recipe of the Week

Today's recipe is one that I made for dinner last night. It turned out delicious if I do say so myself! J raved about it and said that he wanted me to make it again soon using the sauce and a different kind of meat. I think his exact words were "You could put that sauce on anything and it would be good!" Quite the compliment. For Cooking Light really, not me. I just followed their recipe. Ok, maybe a little for me. =) For those of you who aren't really into spicy foods, fear not, it's really not that spicy. More like a slow burn that never fully develops. I love spicy foods, so it was pretty tame in my book.

Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs

Courtesy of: Cooking Light

Ingredients:

2 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. ground cumin (I substituted ground nutmeg- I was out of cumin)

1 tsp. paprika

1/2 tsp. ground red pepper

4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (Mine had bones)

6 T. honey

2 tsp. cider vinegar

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.

2. Add chicken, one at a time and toss to coat.

3. Place chicken in a greased broiler pan. Broil 5 minutes on each side.

4. Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, mixing well.

5. Remove chicken from oven and brush with 1/4 c. honey mixture.

6. Broil for 1 minute.

7. Take chicken out, flip, and coat the other side with remaining honey mixture.

8. Broil an additional minute or until chicken is done.

9. I served it with broccoli and corn on the cob.

10. Enjoy! (Maybe with a little wine?)

We only drank a glass, not two bottles like this picture implies!
