Spicey Honey Chicken

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 2lbs (yes, we used chicken breasts)
2 t vegetable oil
Rub:
2 t granulated garlic
2 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t coriander
1 t kosher salt
1 t cumin
1/2 t chipotle chili powder

Glaze:
1/2 C Honey
1T Cider Vinegar
Combine the rub spices in bowl and mix well.
Use kitchen shears (or a pair of clean scissors) to trim off any excess fat from the chicken pieces. Pat dry. Drizzle oil over chicken and rub in with your hands to lightly coat all the pieces. Then toss chicken with the spice rub to coat all sides well. Use your hands and get in there! Grill chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
While chicken is cooking, warm honey in the microwave so it’s not so thick. Add the vinegar and combine well.  Reserve 2T honey glaze for later. Take the rest and brush on chicken (both sides) in the final moments of grilling.  I’m gonna warn you that this can make a hot mess, literally. It’s sugar, and it’s gonna drip. After taking chicken off the grill, then drizzle with remaining glaze.
