Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb diet oven baked extra crisp ketogenic chicken dinner – with the video.

Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs

These keto crispy chicken thighs are super easy to make and the method creates extra crispy skin that’s perfectly tender within. The entire family will adore this simple recipe that’s pure comfort food with amazing flavor.

I like to keep it simple and just smother the thighs in olive oil, then shake over plenty of salt and paprika.

You can add on onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning or any other seasoning or fresh herbs you like. You could also swap the oil for avocado oil or any oil you like.

You can bake the keto meal on it’s own or add in some vegetables to roast too. I tend to just pop in a handful of unpeeled garlic cloves that add fragrance and then my Husband and I just enjoy them whole with the chicken.

You can use boneless chicken thighs in keto chicken thigh recipes or include bone in thighs as I’ve use in the easy recipe. Another option is to use chicken wings, drumsticks or your chicken piece of choice that’s budget friendly. (Here are more cheap keto meals.)

If making with bone in chicken, then just save leftover chicken bones for making chicken broth or chicken soup, so nothing goes to waste.

Here are some ideas for keto diet friendly sides to serve with the dinner:

• Creamy mushroom sauce
• Creamed Spinach
• Broccoli Salad
• Cheesy Cauliflower Rice
• Green Beans Casserole
