Grilled Tequila Lime Chicken Skewers

July 20, 2021 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

What could be more summery than this? Grilled chicken, check. Tequila and limes, check. Chicken skewers, check! All of the above are great indicators that we’re in pure summer mode and I for one, couldn’t be happier. Summer always flies by so quickly and I try to take full advantage when it’s here. One of the ways to do that is by firing up the grill and making these grilled tequila lime chicken thighs. These are packed with flavour and so simple to make. Because the last thing I want to do in the summer is spend time indoors prepping food. And luckily with this recipe, you won’t need to.

Who doesn’t love a sheet pan meal? Throwing everything on a sheet pan and cooking it at the same time is exactly what I need sometimes (ok most times). And this Greek sheet pan chicken is bursting with flavour! Letting the chicken marinade for a short time helps do that. Plus, you’ll throw on some potatoes, tomatoes, and a few other goodies to round it out to a full meal. Serve it with some pita and/or a side salad (if you’d like) and call it a day.

Crispy Air Fryer Wings: Mexican Inspired

Yum

If you love chicken wings, especially crispy ones and Mexican food and flavours, you’re gonna love these Mexican chicken wings. Made with a simple dry rub and then air fried until perfectly crispy, they’re actual heaven. Once they’re air fried, go ahead and drizzle the lime crema, cotija cheese, cilantro and some serrano peppers for heat. Highly suggest pairing these air fryer wings with some guac and a marg (preferably on a sunny day) but honestly, you could eat these in the dead of winter and just blast the heat and pretend you’re somewhere warm. I do this ALL the time 😉
