   Brush the tops of the chicken thighs with half of the glaze and bake in a pre heated 325F oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes raise the oven temp to 350F and brush the thighs with the remaining glaze.( you'll probably have to re warm the glaze a bit in order to spread) Bake another 20 to 25 minutes.

   In a medium sauce pan, combine the rice, water, honey, butter, salt and one teaspoon of the vanilla extract. Bring up to a boil and then simmer, covered for 15 to 18 minutes until the liquid is absorbed into the rice, stirring once or twice. Once done, remove from the heat and stir in that 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

   To serve, place 1/4 of the rice on each of 4 plates, top with a piece of the chicken and garnish with the green onions and cashews.
