Cooking Tips

• For extra crispy chicken, you can double coat the chicken thighs by dipping them in beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs before frying.
• Feel free to customize the lime aioli by adding additional ingredients such as chopped cilantro or hot sauce.
• If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the chicken thighs in the oven instead of frying them. Simply preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken for about 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.

Storage and Serving

• These crispy chicken tacos are best served immediately while the chicken is still crispy.
• If you have any leftovers, store the chicken, lime aioli, and tortillas separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• To reheat the chicken, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• When ready to serve, assemble the tacos with the reheated chicken, lime aioli, and fresh toppings.
