Jennifer J's Sticky Spicy Chicken

This dish has a nice bite of heat and just a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients:

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 12)

3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup honey
1 Tbsp mustard (Dijon if you have it)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin

1 Tbsp flour
How to Make:

Preheat oven to 400F.

Combine all ingredients except chicken and flour in a bowl and mix well.

Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken and turn to coat, making sure each piece gets nice and saucy.

Put in oven and cook for 40 minutes at 400F. When done, place the chicken pieces onto a cutting board and slice up into bite-size pieces.

Strain off any visible fat from the sauce and pour into a pan. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and whisk in over medium heat until the sauce thickens (about 1 minute). Then add the cubed chicken to the sauce and stir well.

Serve over rice. Easy and delicious!
