Thanksgiving!

already! It's hard to believe. Time has gone by so quickly since the boys went back to school. It's thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, always one of my favourite holidays. No pressure, no gifts to buy, just a focus on giving thanks for the many blessings we have. Of course we have hockey but hopefully the weather will co-operate and we will get in a nice hike and some apple picking. It's cold and rainy  now so I'm not so sure! I have a  lot of cooking to do so tonight I'm going to keep it simple with one of my standby's
Spicy Chicken Thighs-quick and easy and everyone loves them. The are also one of those crossover meals-good in any season. In the summer I do them on the grill but on a rainy day like today they are lovely under the broiler. I think this is originaly a cooking light recipe but I'm not sure!


Spicy Chicken Thighs
Cover a pan with foil, spread thighs out on top of foil. Sprinkle with cayenne(we like lots but use less or none at all depending on your family likes/dislikes) cumin, paprika, chili powder and garlic powder. I also add a wonderful sweet chili spice I have. Sprinkle on both sides of chicken and then spritz lightly with olive oil. Place under broiler on high for 5 minutes. Flip chicken over-broil other side for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and brush a mixture  of honey and cider vinegar over the chicken thighs. Broil one minute-watch closely. Remove from oven and devour!!
I serve these with sesame noodles(noodles with sesame oil,chili paste,hoison sauce,rice vinegar and soy sauce.) and green beans. VERY quick and delicious!


Happy Thanksgiving!
