You might not think of pumpkin seeds as chicken coating material, but these nutty, chewy kernels are every bit as tasty and versatile as almonds or pistachios in cooking. One of the most popular snacks in the world, pumpkin seeds (called pepitas in Mexico) add texture and a unique taste, and are one of the best sources of magnesium, zinc and amino acids available. This recipe has many levels of flavor, from a complex mix of sweet and tart via honey and balsamic, a Spanish flair of thyme, peppers and cumin, and the toasty appeal of pepitas.
