I made these with skinless, bone-in thighs. You can use boneless but I like the richer flavor of bone-in meat. You could also make this using wings, breasts, etc. It'd be great grilled on the BBQ pit too!
.
SPICY HONEY CHICKEN
.
8 skinless chicken thighs
.
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paptrika
1/2 tsp ground red pepper (less to reduce spiciness)
.
Place chicken in a bowl and sprinkle spice rub over chicken. Toss and mix well.
.
Coat roasting pan with cooking spray. Place chicken in pan. Roast in 400 degree oven for 40 minutes.
.
Mix together: 6 TBSP honey + 2 tsp cider vinegar. After the chicken has cooked for 20 min, brush one side with honey mix. Cook for 10 minutes. Turn chicken over, brush with honey and roast for the final 10 minutes (total roasting time is 40 minutes).
.
.
SWEET POTATO
.
1 large sweet potato-peeled and diced
Boil in salt water for about 4 minutes (fork should pierce through easily, but not too mushy)
Drain potatoes. Spray with spray butter and season with salt and pepper.
.
.
BROCCOLI
.
Steam broccoli in microwave. Spray with spray butter. Season with salt and pepper.
.
.
Rating: Another success thanks to cooking light! The chicken was really flavorful and spicy. I can't wait to try this on the grill also!
.
2 thights + 1/2 the sweet potato + 2 cups broccoli = 356 calories.
