Spicy Honey Chipotle Chicken Thighs

I really love chicken but sometimes it can be incredibly boring. We buy chicken in bulk from Costco and Sam’s so we usually have a ton of it in the freezer. Finding new ways to jazz up bland boring baked chicken can be a challenge to say the least. The paste in this recipe is an easy way to add alot of flavor without alot of work. The hot/sweet combination of the smokey chipotles and the honey take baked chicken from ordinary to worthy of company. Chipotle’s can be a little spicy bording on hot. If you don’t like hot, split the peppers open and remove the seeds to cut the heat.
