Keto Sticky Orange Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts
This tasty Keto chicken recipe makes a delicious low carb dinner option. Our Keto chicken dish is prepared with skin on, bone-in chicken thighs, shredded Brussels sprouts and a dressing of orange juice, tangy tamari sauce, sesame oil, low carb maple-flavored syrup and a little garlic seasoning. This makes a flavorful low carb dinner option served with your preferred Keto sides.
What Kind of Chicken Can I Use?
We have used bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for our tasty Keto dinner recipe. Chicken Thighs with skin are a great option for low carb eating as they are richer in fats than leaner cuts such as breast meat. If preferred, you may use alternative cuts of chicken with or without the skin. Please be sure to adjust your macros and cooking times as needed to account for any different cuts used.
Serving Suggestions
These tangy low carb chicken thighs make a great Keto dinner or lunch option. If you would like to serve the chicken with additional sides, the thighs can be served with an Asian inspired Keto slaw to compliment the flavors of the dish. Alternatively, the chicken would be delicious served over a bed of cauliflower rice.

40 min
Step 1
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over a medium/high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin side up and leave them to sit in the pan for 5 minutes until the base starts to brown.Step 2
While the chicken is browning, trim the tough bases from the sprouts and discard. Remove any wilted outer leaves. Thinly slice the sprouts and set aside. Turn the chicken thighs over in the skillet. Add the sliced sprouts, arranging them around the thighs. If the pan feels a little dry, you can add a splash more oil. Let the chicken sit for a further 6-7 minutes to crisp the skin.Step 3
Turn the chicken thighs over. Pour the stock over the sprouts and around the chicken. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10 -12 minutes until the liquid has all been evaporated and the chicken is completely cooked through.Step 4
While the chicken is cooking, add the orange juice, sesame oil, tamari, garlic powder and lakanto syrup to a small bowl. Whisk to combine until smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the cooked chicken and sprouts. Turn the chicken over briefly to caramelize the skin in the sauce. Serve hot with your preferred Keto sides.
