Bring summertime flavor to the table any time of year with this moist chicken entree that will remind you of backyard barbecues. The hint of heat is tempered by sweet honey, but for pickier palates, simply decrease the cayenne pepper. &mdash;Lisa Gnyp, Shelby Township, Michigan

Quick, yummy, moist, flavorful.  Loved the sauce, would make extra for the veggies.

Oh so yummy! A little too spicy for my children's taste (they don't care for much if any heat), but my husband and I LOVED it!! I will make this again.

We loved this, ate it with mashed potatoes and a salad and it was so good.  So easy and so tasty

Very yummy! Had a mild spicy flavor with a hint of barbecue! Loved it! Next time I might add more honey though, since there wasn't a lot of honey flavor to it.

This was excellent, though I had to cut back on the cayenne......I only put 1/4 teaspoon and that was plenty of heat.  My husband even thought it was good and spicy, and he would have doubled the cayenne had he been in the kitchen with me when I was making it.  So easy, too.  Perfect for a weeknight!

Great spicy flavor. My daughter really liked it. Only used 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper.

We grilled this instead off asking but it was still great! A quick & easy main dish!

This was a little spicier than I was expecting it to be.  I was hoping for it to have more of a honey-taste than the spice.  Probably won't make this one again.

Very nice taste and just the right amount of heat. Was hoping for more honey flavor though, probably gonna baste it multiple times next time.

Yummy. I won’t cook it quite as long next time. Was a little dry, but still excellent.  Doubling the sauce is a great idea and since I’m not into spicy dishes, I only used a pinch of cayenne .

Loved this recipe!!!! I only put in half the amount of the cayenne pepper!

This was awesome.  I put the rub and basting sauce on pork chops as oppose to chicken.  My husband said they were the best pork chops he's ever had.  If you brown the chicken/chops in a cast iron skillet prior to putting in the oven, you get a lovely caramelization on the meat.

This recipe alone was worth my subscription.  I am sooo glad I tried it.  It is very easy to put together and so tasty.  Definitely going to make again.  I like that it is made with all natural ingredients.

Update- I tried this again, and we did not like it.. again. However, the second night we had it (leftovers), I remembered to baste the chick with the honey and cider vinegar, and it was a little better. Still not a big fan, but if I try this again, I am going to do as another reader did, and use the honey and cider as a dipping sauce.

We loved the flavor, but yes, there was some heat in the rub.  We offset that with a side  of sour cream topped shredded lettuce.  As dkarvin suggested in a December review, the leftovers will be used to make a wonderful southwestern entree later in the week.

I loved this! My kids don’t do spicy food, so I omitted the cayenne entirely. I didn’t have quite enough honey on hand, but it was still delicious!

Wow!  The sauce that this creates is amazing!  I was afraid that this might be a little too spicy for my grandson, but he devoured this dish.  It will be in my regular rotation from now on.  I wouldn't change a thing in this recipe!

I thought this was great. I only used 1/4 tsp of cayenne because I made this for me and my 6 year old only. When I basted the chicken the honey vinegar mixture ran over the chicken, but after cooking it thickened in the pan. I spooned it back over the chicken when served. I think that's the key to getting the honey flavor. This reminded me of the Andalusian pork tenderloin I made once. My son loves anything with honey. This was the first time he ate his chicken first without arguing. It was still a little spicy for him. I squeezed more honey on the cut pieces.

I thought the spices on this were very good, but if I make it again I think I will double the sauce. I think it would have been tastier with a little more glaze but over all a very good simple recipe!

If you like dry rub on chicken, this one's for you!

I thought this was tasty. I will decrease the amount of chili pepper next time for my taste. My whole family enjoyed this recipe. It was easy to make too.

I wondered If anyone has tried this without the honey and vinegar I thought it smelled really delicious when I open the oven to add the sauce

I really liked the spice and honey flavor combo. I did change it up just slightly - I cooked the chicken and sauce in a skillet (with chicken cut in chunks) to speed up the cooking process. We really liked it. It was great served with a side of steamed veggies.

Just made this and the flavor is great and the chicken was tender, definitely a keeper! The only thing I did different was add s&p to the honey cider glaze.
