Tastes amazing. I literally made 20 servings of this for the week except for the veggies and all ingredients were like $40.

This taste amazing, however, when I put everything on my app I use “cronometer” for calories. It says that this has 616 calories instead of 445. What app do you use for this ?

Tastes great, but can’t match your macros when plugging in my own numbers. I get 23g fat which makes a pretty big difference per serving. All the olive oil comes out to 7g fat per serving, what thighs do you use that have less than 8g fat/.5lb raw?

Hi! We don’t have adobo sauce where i live. Would mariana sauce be a good substitute?

I made this and the portions are just too small. It feels like a Lunchables. Tastes good, though.

Tastes great! The theme is the same with a lot of these recipes. Macros just don’t add up. I manually did mine and came out with 635c, 38p, 66c, and 24f. Not sure if I miscalculated somewhere or not. Gotta go back and re add everything up.

I used G Hughes sugar free BBQ sauce too. So good!

My store didn’t have any chipotle peppers to use the adobo sauce, so I just used Sweet & Spicy BBQ sauce and it came out amazing! This has become one of my favorites so far.

Are the green onions just a garnish?
