    I am following you now. I couldn’t follow on FB because I couldn’t log on. If you’ll come by mine and follow me I’ll follow back once I log in again.

    Yum! These look tasty. The cooking process is the same as my crispy chicken thigh recipe — I’ve never thought to try marinating them before cooking them!

    Dear Catherine, I am trying to catch up, got behind in visiting a few blogs. This dish looks so tasty. I like the combo of the chicken with the Escarole Salad. Your marinade is a great one for chicken. I just recently started putting cinnamon with chicken. I absolutely love the combo, which also has the flavors of the ginger and lime. What an exciting recipe this one is! Thanks for sharing Blessings…Dottie 🙂

    I want to love chicken thighs. I have a weird issue with their texture. If they are char broiled on the grill I think I can manage. I have tried them so many ways. I am not willing to give up just yet, as these look so YUMtastic! Thank you for linking them to Yuck Stops Here party! #stoptheyuck [email protected]
