This chicken is wonderfully sweet and spicy. Not too sweet and just right with the spices. It kind of reminds me of the Chinese chicken on a stick. My family loved it and kept asking when I would make it again. I used thighs, I am sure you could use breasts. I like thighs because they are always moist and to me more flavorful. Also, cheaper. I hope you try this chicken, and like it as much as we do.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

After enjoying once your family will request these spicy honey-glazed chicken thighs again. The rub is savory and spicy. It soaks into the chicken and flavors the juicy chicken thighs. They're topped with a tangy and sweet glaze that caramelizes while under the broiler. The rub and glaze can also be used on chicken breasts or chicken wings.
