Spicy thighs!
You know, it's funny. It's like the emptier my fridge/freezer/pantry get, the more recipes I follow instead of just making up my own. You'd think it would be the other way around, but I guess I must cook with more ingredients when I'm winging it. I feel so limited in the kitchen before this move, yet I am managing to find a million and one recipes/ideas for which I have all the ingredients.
Today I made Cooking Light's Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs. I was short one ingredient, however--cider vinegar. I decided to use balsamic instead. I used bone-in thighs (still skinless) and ended up broiling them about 9 minutes per side. These were great!
We had this with grilled potatoes. I processed a clove of garlic with some salt, pepper, a little rosemary, and olive oil. Tossed the skin-on potato slices in the mixture, and grilled about 8 minutes per side.
I also sauteed some asparagus in a touch of butter, some balsamic vinegar (which I am now officially out of), garlic, salt and pepper, and a tiny bit of thyme.
The pictures didn't turn out well, but here is one of the least crappy pics. Canarygirl, will you please come take pictures for me next time? :)

This sounds delicious! Balsamic gives chicken such great flavor...I think it's probably better that you didn't have the cider vinegar. ;) And, watchu talkin' about Willis? Your picture is just fine. :) Of course, I *do* accept your invitation, as long as it means I get to have dinner at your house. :)
