Recipe Tuesday

A Superbowl Clean Menu meant I had to look for new recipes. I found one I really liked on Stupid Easy Paleo. The Jalapeno-Lime Chicken Wings recipe was the one for me. I changed it up just a bit to fit my taste buds but the base of the idea came from this site. I also had chicken thighs instead of wings just because the store ran out of organic wings!

So here it is the Jalapeno-Lime Chicken Marinade - Kiki's Remix

4 lbs of chicken thighs
4 jalapeno peppers, not deseeded and cut into chunks
1/4 cup of coconut oil
4 tbs of coconut aminos (soy sauce could work if you're not eating clean)
1 whole head of garlic, peeled
1 1/2 Tablespoon of Cumin
Juice of 2 limes and 1/2
1 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
a dash of onion powder (to taste)
a dash of sea salt (to taste)

**Remember to taste as you go to determine what else you will like for your taste buds.**

Add all of the marinade ingredients to the blender. Process until smooth. Marinade was thick but my vitamix broke it down after a bit. The original recipe suggested adding water if it was too thick.

Put the chicken into a container. Pour the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. I let it sit for close to 2 hours.

We grilled the thighs and cut into them about 10 minutes after being off of the grill.

Enjoy!
