Doing the 21-day Primal Reset has really stirred up the creativity and resulted in this very clean and healthy indulgence.

As much as we love our Texan BBQ Niblets we’re looking to cleanse our systems – along with our lifestyle – so the bottle sauce had to go.

No need to miss out though – where there’s a will there’s a way, and the proof is in the pudding, (or in the niblets)!

We love our Thai flavours and as we’re choosing to avoid all the nasties and prepare our sauces from scratch, hubby got his creativity on and nailed it first time.

Thai Sticky Chicken Niblets & Wild Rice Lettuce Cups

Ingredients (serves 4)

• Marinade
  • 1 red chilli, seeds removed and chopped
  • 1 bunch coriander, stems only, some leaves to garnish
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 4cm piece ginger, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon organic gluten free tamari soy sauce
  • 5 drops of fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon pure raw honey
• 1kg chicken niblets
• 2 cups wild rice (1/2 a cup per serve)
• 1 iceberg lettuce (one large leaf for each person)
• 1 small carrot, a few long strips grated

Method

• Blitz all marinade ingredients into a paste, cover the chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Cover a tray with foil and spray lightly with olive oil so wings don’t stick.
• *Variation: if you don’t have time to marinate, place niblets on foil and dribble paste on spreading around with a brush, so as to baste.
• Cook in air fryer on 200 degrees for 30 minutes, turning half way.
• Prepare the rice as per packet instructions.
• Serve niblets on a large lettuce leaf, topped with wild rice, and a few grated strips of carrot. Squeeze some lime juice over the top, then add the chicken on top. Garnish with coriander.

Play with your food!

Not something you hear every day, but today you have permission. Have some fun with it by removing the chicken from the bone and wrapping it all up in the lettuce leaf. Or, if you’re like me and can’t resist, dig into the chicken, then wrap all the rest up in the lettuce. Devine!
