Keto Harissa Roasted Chicken Thighs
These quick and easy chicken thighs make a great protein option for lunch or dinner. Our tasty low carb recipe is prepared with skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, harissa paste, lemon juice, low carb maple-flavored syrup and olive oil. The thighs are simply basted in the spicy dressing before being part-baked, then basted again and baked until golden and caramelized.
Can I Use a Different Cut of Chicken?
We have used thighs for this Keto chicken recipe. If preferred, you could swap the thighs for skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, drumsticks or wings. Please be sure to adjust your cooking times and macros accordingly to account for different cuts of meat.
Serving Suggestions
These spicy Keto chicken thighs make a great low carb lunch or dinner option. The thighs are perfect served with a low carb cauliflower couscous or a portion of buttery cauli mash. Alternatively, the thighs would be delicious served with a simple side salad and a creamy low carb slaw.
