Keto Crispy Teriyaki Chicken
This meal is very easy to make and is very flavorful. Usually teriyaki sauce has a lot sugar to make it sweet, but it is not necessary. Instead of sugar, I used rice vinegar which helps give it a nice tang. I love how this recipe requires no marination and is ready in 30 minutes. Serve with cauliflower rice and a dark green veggie!

30 min
Step 1
De-bone the chicken thighs if they didn’t already come that way. Sprinkle salt unto the skin.Step 2
Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat, once pan is hot, add the oil and the thighs skin side down. Cook this way fo 12-15 minutes until the skin is very crispy.Step 3
In the meantime, mix together the tamari soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar into a small bowl. Grate the garlic and ginger directly into the bowl. The amount doesn’t have to be exact.Step 4
Flip chicken thighs and cook on the other side for an additional 7-9 minutes until cooked through. Then remove to a plate. Drain all oil out of the pan.Step 5
Add in the sauce and cook until thickened. Add in crispy chicken thighs in at the very last minute and toss just to coat. Let cool for 3 minutes and then cut into strips. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, if desired!

I added 1 tbsp swerve brown sugar substitute to make the sauce thicker and to counteract the saltiness.

I substituted the rice vinegar (because I couldn’t find it at kroger) with half a tbsp of red wine vinegar & instead of avocado oil I used olive oil, the flavor probably isn’t super similar but it still came out amazing

So I made these tonight and they are delicious but still super salty. By going off the comments I did not add salt to the chicken and I used amino acid to substitute the soy sauce. Not sure why it’s still really salty anyone have any ideas?

Has anyone made the chicken in an air fryer? Curious on the settings used...

When it says 8oz of chicken is that for all 4 peices together?

Can we do without the fish sauce?

My whole family loved it. Definitely something we will incorporate a few times per month!

Really nice but definitely doesn’t need the extra salt. Just add a little extra oil into the pan and have it on a high heat and you can crisp up the skin beautifully.

Fantastic, my whole family loved it! I didn't have thighs with skin on so I used a weighted plate so it browned up nicely. I will try the aminos next time as soy sauce made it too salty.

This is one of the best keto recipes I've ever tried. I added cooked cauliflower to the sauce at the end, and this made a whole meal.

I am looking for lots of recipes like this, great slices and put on top a bed of mixed greens.....great for my lunch box! And it could be dressed with a bit of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and a dribble of sesame oil.

What can you use instead of rice vinegar?
Winning@Life 3 years ago
Nothing. It has a unique flavor. It's not expensive,

Meh. It is OK. The fish sauce really screws up the flavor of the teriyaki. I prefer my own recipe for teriyaki sauce with out fish sauce.

I made it and it doesn't quite look like yours, but OMG so flavorful! I will definitely try it again!

That is ok! Next time, make sure your pan is HOT before adding the thighs skin down. Then turn the heat down to medium so they can get nice and crispy before adding the sauce!

Can I use chicken breast in place of the thighs?
recipewriter 5 years ago
Yes, you can though it would be best to use a breast that has skin-on and no bone still so you get the crispy factor!
tcwilson64e22b 5 years ago
One of my favorite keto recipes. Best with thighs that still have the skin on them.
