     My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I cut the ground red pepper in half and the heat was perfect. I've got the recipe saved to make again. - 3/3/10

     It was very good. I baked the chicken part of the time and broiled it after, which seemed to get it more completely done without burning. - 1/9/14

     I cheated and used a packet of taco seasoning, added more garlic, ground red pepper, black pepper, and Wowee!!! Awesome spicy taste. Definitely will be in the dinner rotation!! - 2/2/12

     Ok, I'm making this chicken as we speak and after the 12 minute total cooking time, it is nowhere near done. Anyone else have this problem? - 8/15/11

     Honey brushed spicey chicken thighs were dangerously delicious. I followed the recipe almost exactly, except I was out of cumin, and I substituted coriander. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is a winner! - 3/25/09

     I used onion powder as I dislike garlic and cut the size in half. The flavor is really good, and I used pizza peppers as I didn't have red pepper. I put my oven on 400 and broil, and it took more like 10 minutes a side to cook to 165 degrees. I'm sure fresh chicken thighs would be better than frozen - 12/14/18

     Awesome, I didn't have cider Vinegar so I used rice vineger which has a more mild taste. I also didn't use cumin. Fast easy dinner and is a regular at the house. - 1/31/17

     Will definitely make this again. We added a bit of red pepper because we like spicy and it was great. Next time we'll add a little more vinegar because the honey from my family farm is particularly sweet and needs a bit more balance. Really good recipe! - 3/19/14

     This is one of the best chicken recipes I've found on this site! Love how easy it is to make, and the combination of spicy & sweet is DELICIOUS. I can't handle too much spice, so I used less of some of the spices and it still tasted great. Could probably substitute taco seasoning for a milder taste. - 3/5/14

     This was so yummy! New family favorite. - 1/28/13

     I enjoyed this a lot. With the chicken being bones I layed it out flat. I was concerned that 12 minutes total time would be to much. I cooked it 2.5 minutes on high broil on each side and then a minute each after they glaze. It was perfectly cooked - 9/1/12

     I made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious! The only things I did differently were: I dusted the meat with the seasoning and I used red pepper flakes (because I didn't have any ground red pepper). I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe. - 7/7/12
