Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it heat up. Add the chicken thighs, cooking for 5-6 minutes per side until they are golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the sugar-free honey substitute, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the mixture well and let it come to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the tops. Place lemon slices around the chicken.
Let the chicken simmer in the glaze for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken occasionally with the glaze from the pan.
Once cooked, remove from the heat. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Keto Honey Glazed Chicken hot, with a side of your choice, such as steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice.
