Keto Maple, Lemon and Pancetta Chicken Thighs
These delicious Keto chicken thighs are basted in a sweet marinade before being oven baked until perfectly crisp and golden. Our low carb dinner recipe is prepared with skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, olive oil, maple-flavored syrup, lemon juice, aromatic dried rosemary and thyme, a little garlic powder, and diced pancetta. This makes a great Keto protein option served with your preferred low carb sides.
Can I Use a Different Cut of Chicken?
We have used large chicken thighs for this Keto dinner recipe. If preferred, you may use an alternative cut of skin-on, bone-in chicken. Drumsticks, breasts and wings would all be great options. Please be sure to adjust your macros and cooking times as necessary to account for any different ingredients used.
Serving Suggestions
Our sweet and crisp Keto thighs make a great protein option for lunch or dinner. The thighs would be perfect served with a buttery cauliflower mash, some steamed broccoli, or a hearty low carb salad or slaw. You will find a range of delicious Keto accompaniments in our sides section.
