Day 5: Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken and a keeping it real moment.

Let me start this off by saying this really is a good recipe. However when making dinner last night I must have completely zoned out. Apparently, trying to make dinner while watching the movie “Julie and Julia” is a bad idea. I’ve made this recipe before and it’s so easy! But hey, It’s a movie about Julia Child and I am easily distracted! Which is why I added 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper instead of chili powder. Then I also added 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper and never got around to adding the chili powder. EPIC FAIL. My mouth is still on fire. Now, this is a moment I wouldn’t usually blog but I promised to blog every dinner during this No dining out challenge. May as well laugh about it!
I have shared this recipe with friends, who absolutely love it (right Jennifer? right Terah?). Tell people I’m not crazy! When I made it last time, I really liked it as well. So give it a try! A word to the wise, read the ingredients carefully. haha!

Spicy Honey Brushed Chicken
Ingredients
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs- I used 4 chicken breasts cut thin.
Cooking spray
6 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
Preparation
Preheat 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. Broil chicken 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 on chicken. Broil 1 minute. Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush chicken with remaining honey mixture. Broil 1 additional minute or until chicken is done.
