A few weeks ago, I made this fantastic recipe that I found posted by Nom Nom Paleo for Chili Lime Chicken wings.
Chili Lime Chicken Wings by Nom Nom Paleo
I first made them as per the recipe, with chicken wings, and they were delicious - an opinion held both by me and my husband! The recipe was super easy, and here's a picture of how they turned out:
Tonight I tried the same recipe with chicken thighs to reduce the fat and increase the protein per serving. One tip when placing these in the oven. I folded them in half so that they maintained a similar size to a chicken wing. I then turned them half way through cooking to the other side. Next time, I would increase the temperature of the oven from 400F to 425F for the last 10 minutes of cooking to get that crunchy exterior texture more consistently. I served them with Mexican yellow rice and black beans. They are still a little high in fat, but the protein boost is well worth it, as is the flavor.
