    I've made this recipe at least a dozen times. It's fantastic and easy. I just omit the spices for my 7 year-old. Easy enough.

    This turned out to be some of the best chicken I have made in a while. After reading the reviews, I added an additional tablespoon of honey and about half the amount of cumin. I am a bit of a sissy when it comes to spice, so this turned out to be the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. I used a grill pan and added remaining sauce at the very end to caramelize on the chicken (thanks to a reviewer's recommendation). Afterwards I removed the chicken from the pan and deglazed the it with some white wine, adding sliced mushrooms and onions. I let it reduce until the onions and mushrooms were soft and then served them with the chicken. It was so good that I am about to make more, due to popular demand.

    Just finished these and they were a big hit. I doubled the spice and basting ingredients to have ample flavor. Quick easy and spicy!

    Really really spicy. The heat hit hard in the after taste. I used chipotle chili powder so maybe that was my problem. What have others used? I've been trying to find a good chicken thigh recipe. This one is very similar to the spicy tequila glazed thighs (also too spicy) and not the one for me.

    This was good and spicey! If you have a milder taste bud, you may want to minimize the spices a little. I served this with brown rice and cole slaw. It was excellent.
