Keto 5 Ingredient Chicken Drumsticks
These quick and easy Keto drumsticks are prepared with just 5 ingredients, plus a little dash of oil and seasoning for cooking. These oven-baked drumsticks are loaded with flavor and baked in a simple marinade until the skin is crisp and golden. Perfect for family weeknight dinners when you are short on time.
Can I Use Chicken Thighs?
We have prepared this easy 5 ingredient Keto recipe with chicken drumsticks. If you prefer, you could use chicken thighs or wings as an alternative. Depending on the size and quantity of meat you wish to use, you may need to scale up the marinade accordingly. Our marinade provides enough to coat 4 medium chicken drumsticks, so you will need to adjust ingredients quantities as needed.
Can I Cook This in An Air Fryer?
We have oven-baked our Keto chicken drumsticks until crispy and slightly caramelized. If preferred, you may cook the drumsticks in an air fryer. Simply prepare as per the recipe instructions and arrange in your air fryer basket. Cook according to your air fryer guidelines. They should take roughly 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit in an air fryer, just ensure they are entirely cooked through and golden all over. Please be sure to adjust your macros for any changes made to the original recipe and adjust cooking times for different cooking methods as needed.
