A delightful twist on honey chicken thighs with a sweet and spicy glaze.
Preheat your broiler to high.
Ensure the broiler is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a large bowl, mix together the garlic powder, chili powder, salt, ground cumin, and smoked paprika.
Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Massage the spices into the chicken for better absorption.
Place the chicken thighs on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
Leave some space between the pieces for even cooking.
Broil the chicken for 5 minutes on each side.
Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent burning.
In a small bowl, combine the honey and apple cider vinegar, stirring well.
Warm the honey slightly if it's too thick to mix.
Brush half of the honey mixture onto the chicken and broil for 1 minute.
Apply the glaze evenly for a consistent flavor.
Turn the chicken over, brush with the remaining honey mixture, and broil for an additional minute or until done.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
Serve the chicken thighs warm with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
