You can make these flavor-packed, BBQ-spiced chicken thighs in under 30 minutes!

Inspired by one of the most popular Cooking Light recipes, these BBQ-spiced chicken thighs are a huge family pleaser and super-easy to prepare. The chicken is seasoned with a Southwestern rub, broiled for 10 minutes, brushed with an apple cider vinegar-honey glaze, and then flashed under the broiler again until caramelized and juicy. Finally, the chicken is doused with a bit more vinegar to balance the sweetness of the honey and also create a delicious pan sauce. Start to finish, the recipe takes under 30 minutes! (In case you’re wondering, this recipe will work on the grill, but you’ll definitely miss those tasty pan juices for spooning over the chicken.) Serve the chicken thighs with any simple corn dish: corn on the cob, spoon bread, cornbread, corn muffins, sautéed corn, or corn salad, to name just a few.

What you’ll need to make BBQ-Spiced Chicken Thighs With Tangy Honey Glaze

It’s important to use boneless, skinless thighs as opposed to chicken breasts. They stand up better to the bold seasonings, are more flavorful, and won’t dry out. Just be sure to trim off most of the fat; I like to use kitchen shears as opposed to a knife, as it’s much easier.

Step-by-Step Instructions

To begin, combine the olive oil and spices in a large bowl.

Whisk to combine.

Add the chicken thighs and toss with the spice rub to coat evenly.

Arrange the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet for easy clean-up.

Broil for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Meanwhile, combine the honey and cider vinegar in a small bowl to make the glaze.

Brush the cooked chicken with half the glaze, then broil for 1 to 2 minutes.

Flip the chicken over, brush with the remaining glaze, and broil for a few minutes more until the chicken is nicely caramelized.

Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining cider vinegar and serve with the pan sauces.
