Fajita Chicken Wings {Whole 30}

Chicken wings don’t always have to mean unhealthy. These Fajita Chicken Wings are clean eating, Whole 30 and paleo approved!

Fajita Chicken Wings - a southwestern twist on hot wings with a bite of lime. Whole 30 appetizer that also makes a great paleo dinner recipe.

I love these chicken wings (or should I say drumettes?). They have a mild kick with a little bit of lime that comes in and saves you. They’re a great appetizer year-round.

We eat chicken 5-6 nights a week, and it’s usually chicken breast. It’s nice to switch it up every so often and do a family favorite – chicken wings. I actually used chicken drumettes in this recipe because it’s not often that my store has wings, but the idea is the same.

Made by a chicken farmer

This past year I have been a brand ambassador for Chicken Farmers of Canada. This is not a brand ambassador post, but I do want to touch on that it’s so important that, as Canadians, we look for the Raised by a Canadian Farmer logo. When you buy Canadian Chicken, you are supporting our neighboring farmers and contributing to our economy (it sustains over 78,000 jobs). Canadian Chicken Farmers have strict rules over animal care and safety, and Canadian chicken has no added hormones. Learn how Canadian Chicken is good for Canadians.

  1. another delicious chicken recipe to try

  2. We’re trying this out tonight, delicious recipe Linda! If we had a little more time, we’d marinate those for a few hours before baking them but it’s already 19:00 here in Greece:) Thanx so much for the yummy recipe, have a delicious Thanksgiving in the States!

  3. Sounds scrumptious. We love drummettes! This post is one of my Features at this weeks Merry Monday Party. Pinned and sharing on my Fb page.

  4. I love that you used your own fajita seasonings on the chicken. Pinned and included this in a chicken wing recipe roundup.

  5. They look so good.  Gonna try this on Super Bowl Sunday.

  6. Any recommendations for doing these in the air fryer?

    • Hi Paul! For sure. Putting these in the air fryer would be amazing. I would cook them at 400 for about 8-10 minutes. Should get nearly the same result…although the air fryer may make them a little more crispy. Good luck!
