Lo-Carb Fajita Chicken Wings
"If you are following a lo-carb diet, this recipe is a definite keeper! These chicken wings are crispy, tart, carmelized and yummy. The recipe calls for 12 chicken wings, but I've used many more than that, as the marinade goes a long way. Just marinate 4-24 hours before baking."
