Spicy Honey Chicken

We needed something we already had and easy tonight!  We've been out of town for a week - and didn't get home till late last night, so this was PERFECT!!  Chicken would be really good with rice - noodles - you name it.  We made the Spicy Honey Chicken Salad with it though :)  Sooooooo good!!!
OBB Cookbook

Ingredients:
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 2lbs
2 t vegetable oil

Rub:
2 t granulated garlic
2 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t coriander
1 t kosher salt
1 t cumin
1/2 t chipotle chili powder

Glaze:
1/2 C Honey
1T Cider Vinegar
 
Combine the rub spices in bowl and mix well.
Use kitchen shears (or a pair of clean scissors) to trim off any excess fat from the chicken pieces. Pat dry. Drizzle oil over chicken and rub in with your hands to lightly coat all the pieces. Then toss chicken with the spice rub to coat all sides well. Use your hands and get in there! Grill chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
While chicken is cooking, warm honey in the microwave so it’s not so thick. Add the vinegar and combine well. Reserve 2T honey glaze for later. Take the rest and brush on chicken (both sides) in the final moments of grilling.
If you don’t have a bbq, try it on an indoor grill pan or use your broiler. Just be sure to open a window in case you burn your glaze!
Take that extra couple tablespoons of glaze - and drizzle on top!
