Keto Garlic Butter Roasted Chicken Thighs Recipe
Looking for a delicious and easy keto-friendly dinner? These Keto Garlic Butter Roasted Chicken Thighs are the answer! Tender, juicy chicken with crispy skin, all smothered in a luscious garlic butter sauce – it’s comfort food without the guilt.
Why Chicken Thighs for Keto? Chicken thighs are naturally higher in fat than chicken breasts, making them perfect for the ketogenic diet. The extra fat keeps you feeling full and satisfied, while also contributing to the amazing flavor of the dish.
Ingredients:
- 6-8 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips and Variations:
- For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before adding the garlic butter sauce.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce for a bright and zesty flavor.
- Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken during the last few minutes of baking for a cheesy topping.
- Serve with your favorite keto-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables, cauliflower rice, or a simple salad.
