Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ cup honey
  • juice of 2 lemons

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder together.
  • Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Coat both sides of chicken with spice mixture.
  • Cook for 15 minutes with the skin side down. Flip and continue cooking for 15 minutes on second side.
  • Whisk together the honey and lemon juice.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and baste thighs with honey and lemon mixture. Make sure each thigh is entirely covered with mixture. Return pan to the oven and continue cooking until the honey starts to thicken (about 5-10 minutes).
  • To check for doneness, test with a thermometer in the thickest part of a thigh. The temperature should be at least 165F and the juices clear with no trace of pink.
  • Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes before serving.
