  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

  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

  I had the same problem as "SaxBabe"...put them in for the alotted time plus a few more minutes & they weren't even close to done. Not sure if it's b/c I used bone-in thighs instead of boneless, but either way, just know it may take at least 2x longer. Also, subst'd red wine vinegar & came out fine. - 1/23/12

  This was surprisingly easy. And amazingly delicious! I didn't have a broiler pan, so I used a roasting rack on a backing sheet. I'm not a fan of thighs, so I subbed in thin chicken breasts & served the dinner with dijon roasted broccoli and roasted russet potato slices. Thanks for the great recipe! - 11/11/10

  I made this tonight even wtih some skeptacism after reviewing the nutrional facts. I know they can't be right because there is almost no sugar listed, but there is 6 TBSP of honey listed = one TBSP has 17 grams of sugar. Please update. It has a unique taste. I enjoyed it and will make again. Thx - 9/3/09

  My daughter and I had this for Memorial day dinner. it was yummy, yummy, yummy.. this is a repeat...
  
  My only suggestion... I use the chicken thighs from costco - it's not always 8 - what's the weight that's in one serving so I can determine the size of the serving?
  thanks a million! - 5/25/09

  I cut the seasonings down a bit because most people thought it was too spicy. I personally should have left them as they were since mine was not spicy enough. I thought this was a tasty recipe and a nice alternative to plain chicken. I might add a few more spices that are my personal favorites. - 6/15/08
