Keto Honey Baked Chicken
Description
Keto Honey Baked Chicken combines bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with a marinade made from olive oil, garlic, sugar-free honey, lemon juice, and spices. After marinating for at least 30 minutes, the chicken is placed in a baking dish with remaining marinade and baked at a high temperature to achieve a nicely browned skin and juicy interior. The lemon juice adds brightness, while thyme and onion powder enhance the savory profile.
The dish offers a sweet-savory flavor with a crisp exterior and moist meat inside. It is appropriate for those watching carbohydrate intake by using sugar-free honey.
For best results, allow space between pieces for even cooking. Adjust cooking time when using boneless or skinless chicken parts to prevent drying out. Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs bone in and skin on
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 tsp. garlic minced
- 4 Tbsp. honey sugar free
- lemon juice from ½
- 2 tsp. thyme dried
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Add all of the ingredients to a Ziploc bag, and shake to combine.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Place the chicken into a 9x13 baking dish, and pour the remaining marinade over the chicken.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until browned and completely cooked through.
Notes
- If using boneless skinless thighs, reduce cooking time and monitor for doneness.
- Skinless chicken breasts require a lower temperature to avoid drying out.
- Marinating at least 30 minutes improves flavor, but cooking immediately after mixing also works.
- Leave space between chicken pieces in the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Use sugar-free honey to keep the recipe keto-friendly, reducing net carbs.
