3/18- Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken

Mmm hmmm... it's a good one! This one's from Cooking Light again, and it's one of the easiest ones ever! The recipe actually calls for chicken thighs, but I either use chicken breasts or tenderloins. It also wants you to broil them, but who wants to heat up their kitchen, especially on a gorgeous day like today?! The grill it is! Here be the recipe:

2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts or whatever)
6 T honey
2 T cider vinegar

Combine all the dry ingredients in a ziploc bag. Throw in the chicken and toss it around until it's all covered. Throw them on the grill. Mix the honey and vinegar, and baste the chicken while it cooks, but reserve some of the mixture to drizzle over it when you serve it.

It's THAT easy! It's a great spring/summer grilling out meal, and goes well with just about any sides you can think of. Tonight we were all starved from our outing to Target (where we bought a lot of stuff since I'm nesting and feeling unprepared for the baby), so we had tossed salad, fruit salad, potato salad, and cole slaw with the chicken. Soon to be followed by some type of chocolate I'm sure!
