Grilled Spicy Honey Chicken

I am always looking for new and different grilling recipes, especially since we got a monster new grill this spring! This chicken revisits my favorite flavor combo: sweet and savory.


1-2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts 
2 tsp. olive oil

Rub:
2 tsp garlic
2 tsp chili powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked coriander
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp cayenne

Glaze:
½ cup honey
1 T cider vinegar

Combine all spices for rub and mix together well.

Trim chicken and pat dry; rub oil to coat chicken. Using your hands, coat chicken with spice rub on all sides. Grill chicken over medium heat, about 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through.

While chicken is grilling, warm honey in the microwave for 15-20 seconds; add the vinegar and stir well to combine. Reserve 2 T. of the glaze for serving. Use the remaining glaze to brush onto chicken in the final minutes of grilling. Serve with reserved glaze.
