Brynie: I actually just tried this sweet and spicy grilled chicken on my family, because I too was looking for something interesting, and everyone loved it. It’s not your typical grilled chicken — it has a zing to it that is so appealing!
Ingredients
3–4 chicken bottoms
cooking spray
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (paprika charifah in Israel)
1/3 cup honey
1 1/2 tsp cider (or regular) vinegar
Directions
Place chicken pieces on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Combine all the spices in a small bowl, and generously smear all over chicken pieces. (You can adjust seasoning to taste.) Broil for 10 minutes on each side. Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well. Remove chicken from oven (it is now skin-side down) and brush ¼ cup honey mixture on chicken. Broil 1 minute. Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush with remaining honey mixture. Broil 5 additional minutes or until chicken is done.
Note:
Side dishes that pair well with this are sautéed brussels sprouts, quinoa with diced fruit (such as peaches) in it, whole wheat couscous and a green salad, braised cabbage, rice mixed with mushrooms, and a tossed salad with citrus vinaigrette.
Tip:
You can make your own basic chili powder by simply mixing together the following: 1 tsp paprika, 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp oregano, and 2 tsp garlic powder. Store in an airtight container.
