Spicy Honey Brushed Chicken Thighs

I was so excited to find this simple Chicken recipe. It is perfect for a quick, weeknight meal and pairs well with rice, biscuits or dinner rolls. I discovered the recipe on For the Love of Cooking.

*Note: I used just one chicken breast (because that's what I had on hand) and quartered the spices and honey/vinegar mix as well, since I was only cooking for myself and kids.
