Start that grill and let’s get cooking this Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken!
While the grill is heating up, in a small bowl mix together the garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. This will make up the rub for the chicken.
Next, get out your large platter and place the chicken on it. Then, drizzle the chicken with olive oil making sure each chicken breast is coated.
Now, take the rub mixture and sprinkle it on top of the chicken and then rub it in making sure that all of the chicken is coated.
Once that is done, place the chicken on your preheated grill (medium-high heat) and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, mix in a small bowl the honey and apple cider vinegar. Warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to mix the honey in.
Set aside half of the glaze for later.
With the other half of the glaze, during the last minute of cooking the chicken, brush the glaze on both sides of the chicken.
Now, remove the chicken when it has fully cooked and drizzle on top of the chicken the ½ of the glaze that was set aside.
All that is left to do it serve and enjoy!

Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
Rub
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (depending on how hot you like it – I usually do 1/2 teaspoon)
Chicken
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Glaze
- ½ cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all rub ingredients (garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne).
- Place chicken on a large platter or pan and drizzle with oil, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle rub on top and rub it all over each piece of chicken until chicken is completely coated.
- In a grill pre-heated to medium-high heat or an oven preheated to lo broil (about 400 degrees), cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until chicken is fully cooked.
- In a small bowl, mix together honey and cider vinegar (to help make the honey easier to stir, warm it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds). Set aside 1/2 of the glaze.
- During the last minute of cooking, brush 1/2 of the glaze on both sides of the chicken. Remove chicken from grill and drizzle the remaining glaze on top, then serve.
Notes
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and cook chicken for 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and continue cooking for 5 more minutes. Take chicken out of oven, brush on 1/2 of the glaze, and return to oven for 3 more minutes. Remove from oven, turn chicken one last time, and brush on remaining glaze. Let cook for 3-4 more minutes, then serve.
