Spicy Honey Chicken

I made this Chicken tonight and it was seriously good! I actually made the salad which you can find with the link at the bottom of this post and we loved it.  I actually just copied this from the site I found it and posted it here.

 Recipe by Our Best Bites

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 2lbs (Yes, Thighs!!)everyone is always asking me if they can use breasts for this. Sure you can, but I’m tellin’
ya right now it’s better with thighs.

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.

I’m gonna warn you that this can make a hot mess, literally. It’s sugar, and it’s gonna drip. But the smelly smoke is worth it for a minute or two. Just leave your grill on for a few minutes after the chicken is done to burn off any excess glaze. It’s totally worth it once you taste this stuff.

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!

Remember how I had you reserve that extra couple tablespoons of glaze? Ya, drizzle that on top now. Your taste buds will thank you.

And my favorite way to eat Spicy Honey Chicken? THIS salad!

Peanut Butter/Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

Oatmeal Bars (With PB and Chocolate)

.... can you tell I don't have an official name for these? It doesn't matter though.... they are so good they speak for themselves and therefore do not need a title.

Cookie

3/4 C Butter

1/2 C Sugar

3/4 C Brown Sugar

2 Eggs

1 1/2 T Vanilla

3/4 t Baking Soda

1 1/2 C Flour

1 1/4 C Roll Oats

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes. ( You will probably want to check it at 15 or 20 minutes and do the "toothpick test").

Spread Peanut Butter over it like you would icing on a cake (you can put it in either fresh out of the oven or after it cooled)

Next, spread the chocolate icing over the top:

Chocolate Icing

1 Stick Melted Butter

3 t Baking Cocoa

1/3 C Sour Cream

1 t Vanilla

1 lb (about 3 3/4 C) Powdered Sugar

(You can skip the sour cream if you want... just add lib some milk) If the icing is too thin, you can add more powdered sugar or if it is too thick, you can add milk
