I’ve been meaning to post this recipe and the next one for some time now, but I haven’t been blogging as much as I intended.  Between work, workouts, food prep and wedding planning I have been using as much time as I can to relax.  Thing is, I very well could relax while blogging! My procrastination gets the best of me sometimes.

We received our engagement photos, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! If you are in the Austin area and looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend Lisa Shepard of Aimage, not only did she deliver a fantastic product, but she was fun to work with and made the shoot very enjoyable.

I can’t wait to see how she captures our wedding!

Anyway, about this recipe–I originally used this on chicken legs, and they were great.  But I felt it would have tasted even better on chicken thighs.  So the second time around I used the glaze on 4 lbs of chicken thighs.  They were delicious, and had slightly more flavor than the legs.

This Paleo Tangy Glazed Chicken has got a great flavor! Slightly sweet, slightly tangy, and with a hint of spicy.  I have used this recipe multiple times and love it every time.  It makes for great leftovers as well!

I used the glaze on 4 lbs of chicken thighs (bone in, skin-on).  But this would also work with chicken legs.  Actually, the glaze would probably taste good on other meat as well, if anyone tries it on something other than chicken, let me know how it tastes!
