Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup sugar-free honey substitute
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook until the skin is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes.
Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3 minutes, then remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the sugar-free honey substitute and apple cider vinegar, mixing until well combined.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme and paprika, stirring to integrate the flavors.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the sauce over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Keto Honey Butter Chicken with your choice of keto-friendly sides.
