Instructions
- Grab a medium sized bowl and place those chicky thighs in with lemon juice and low sodium soy sauce.
- In another bowl, add ACV, minced garlic, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and brown sugar. Mix with a fork or whisk them!
- Pour mixture over the chicky and marinate for 30 minutes in fridge if you are impatient. But, it is better to marinate over night to get the full flavor.
- In a medium sized pan, spray coconut oil and pan fry your sexy chicky thighs with the marinade. You will notice caramelization start to form. Toss and turn those chunks until browned and well cooked.
- Serve on corn tortillas or over rice!
