Description

A recipe for sweet and spicy glazed chicken pieces.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Pour the prepared glaze over the chicken.
  6. Cook for 1-2 minutes, turning the chicken to coat it completely in the sauce.
