Spicy Honey Chicken Thighs

I found this recipe a few months ago while boyfriend and I were trying to eat healthier. Luckily for us, this fell into our laps and we embraced it with open arms. It's so flavorful and 2 pieces of chicken is under 300 calories.

Spicy Honey Chicken Thighs

2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp dried minced onion (optional)
1 tbsp crushed red pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
6 tbsp honey
1 tsp sriracha
2 tsp apple cider vinegar

In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin and onion powder. Add chicken thighs and toss to evenly coat chicken. Spray broiler pan with nonstick spray and place chicken on pan.

Broil on high for 5 minutes on each side. Meanwhile combine honey, sriracha and cider vinegar. When chicken is broiled, remove from oven and brush half of the honey mixture onto one side of chicken. Broil chicken for another minute. Brush honey on other side of chicken and broil for another minute.

The chicken will be spicy and sweet with a bit of a char thanks to the broiler. I paired the chicken with sauteed zucchini and a salad to get some freshness.
