Ingredients

2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika I had smoked so used it
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 chicken thighs
6 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Instructions

Pre-heat 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. (Or for easy cleanup, cover the inside of a large baking pan with sides with aluminum foil. Put a wire grid tray on top of the foil to allow drippings to collect in foil for easy cleanup)
Broil chicken for 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 over chicken and return to oven for 1 minute.
Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush chicken with remaining honey mixture.
Broil 1 minute or until chicken is done.

Notes

Boneless thighs can actually be cooked in one flat piece but I tucked meat from both sides under the main part to simulate the thigh with bone in and it cooked perfectly at this thickness.

Quick Tip from the book: Always reach for a larger bowl than you think you need. Using a bowl that is too small can result in spills and makes stirring and whisking more difficult.
