Franks Hot Honey Garlic Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

I received the following in an email this morning from my website developer and thought I’d share it..

Thank you Mr. Mortimer Sir. Imagine the grin I had on my face when the mailman delivered to me on Saturday a box; that whereupon opening I beheld three one pound jars of Frank’s Honey, Frank’s Hand Cream, Frank’s Lip Balm (which really is better than Burt’s) and a copy of Bee People and the Bugs they Love. Immediately (well right after tasting the honey) I began to ponder “what culinary concoction can I create with this?”

OMG these were beyond savory, beyond delicious. The sweetness of the honey and the heat of the peppers were a fantastic culinary combination. The carolina reaper powder came from peppers I grew and harvested last year. I had Carolina Reapers, Ghost Peppers and Bitchin Scorpions.

The Carolina Reapers are the hottest peppers in the world. This pepper–the world’s hottest–is beautiful bright red with a rough surface and a long stinger. But don’t let its good looks fool you! This pepper got its name for a reason. If you are stupid enough to eat this pepper whole you may wish to enter the doors of death willingly! Be very, very careful using this pepper. Those who don’t fear the Reaper are fools. Its Scoville rating is 1,641,300 SHU to a blazing 2,200,000 SHU . Flavor has been described as sweet, fruity, with a hint of cinnamon with chocolate undertones. Uses include hot sauces, salsas, cooking, settling old scores and combat.

Mix the ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly and place chicken thighs within marinating sauce for 1 to 2 hours then place in slow cooker for 5 to 6 hours on low.

2 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs

1/2 Cup Ketchup

1/2 Cup Soy Sauce

1/3 Cup Frank’s Honey

3 Cloves or 4 Tsp Minced Garlic

2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning

1/4 tsp carolina reaper pepper powder

PS: upon feasting upon the thighs, I wouldn’t recommend using anymore the ¼ tsp of the pepper powder. These babies were SMOKIN on just a ¼ tsp but not overwhelming. Got lucky and hit the nail on the head when I guessed that amount.

The honey just danced so well with the heat!
