Not only can it be prepared in multiple ways and used in a variety of dishes, but it is also less expensive than some other protein sources, making it easily accessible to all keto dieters from students to hardcore gym meal preppers. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keto chicken thighs are perhaps the easiest and most delicious cuts of this bird. When made the right way, a chicken thigh remains not only juicy, but very tender which makes your eating experience exceptional. If you have been looking for a good keto recipe with chicken thighs, then you are in the right place. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to find out how to cook keto chicken thighs that will make everyone salivate for a taste of it, as well as a selection of side dishes that go perfectly with your meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=The_Perfect_Keto_Chicken_Thighs\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Frame_207604.gif\" alt=\"Level Up Your Keto Diet with BetterMe\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Keto_Chicken_Thighs_Instead_Of_Breasts\"><\/span><b>Why Keto Chicken Thighs Instead Of Breasts?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-chicken-fried-rice\/\">healthy eating<\/a>, or generally clean eating for weight loss, many recipes call for the use of breasts instead of thighs. That said, on keto you can enjoy thighs without any feelings of guilt. Here\u2019s why<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>They are juicier<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Chicken breasts might be the most popular cut of this bird, but they are also the easiest to dry out while cooking. Thighs on the other hand are very juicy and tender. It\u2019s hard to accidentally overcook them leaving you with dry, tasteless, and stringy meat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>They have a higher fat content<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; The ketogenic diet is one eating plan that places a lot of emphasis on fat consumption. Anyone following this diet plan, especially for weight loss is required to consume high fats, moderate proteins, and very low carbohydrates. In fact, your daily macros should consist of 55 to 60 percent fat, 30 to 35 percent protein, and 5 to 10 percent carbohydrates (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK499830\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food and Drug Administration<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, one cup of skinless diced chicken breast only has 4.82 grams of fat while the same serving of skinless diced chicken thigh has 14.5 grams of fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/1098443\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/1098517\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). From this we can easily see that chicken thighs are better suited for the ketogenic diet. If you\u2019d like to further increase your fat content consumption from these thighs, we recommend keeping the skin on and eating it. 1 thigh (130 grams) with the skin on has 17.9 grams of fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/174505\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-cheesecake-recipe\/\"><i>Low Carb, High Flavor Indulgence With This Keto Cheesecake Recipe<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=The_Perfect_Keto_Chicken_Thighs\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47210 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207656-1024x576.png\" alt=\"keto chicken thighs\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207656.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207656-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207656.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207656-1637x920.png 1637w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207656.png 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Cook_Chicken_Thighs_Keto_%E2%80%93_6_Fun_Ways_To_Make_Delicious_Thighs\"><\/span><b>How To Cook Chicken Thighs Keto &#8211; 6 Fun Ways To Make Delicious Thighs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing makes cooking (and eating) <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-chicken-lettuce-wraps\/\">more fun<\/a> than trying out new recipes and cooking styles. Here are some different ways to make your keto chicken thighs:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baking\"><\/span><strong>Baking<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baking is usually the most preferred method when it comes to making chicken thighs as it not only allows the meat to cook evenly throughout, but it also ensures that the skin is very crispy, adding a layer of texture to your dish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that when using this method, bone-in keto baked chicken thighs will take longer to cook than boneless ones. This is because the bone absorbs the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-bechamel\/\">heat<\/a>, taking it away from the meat surrounding it, thus increasing cooking time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ordinarily you should bake your chicken in the middle rack &#8211; oven at 425 \u00baF\/218 \u00baC for 15 to 20 minutes for boneless thighs, and up to 30 minutes for bone-in thighs. To make sure the chicken is well cooked, use a cooking thermometer and make sure the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken is 165 \u00baF\/73.8 \u00baC.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stove-Top_Pan_Searing\"><\/span><strong>Stove-Top Pan Searing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pan searing is a great way to get <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-chicken-and-broccoli\/\">beautiful<\/a> caramelized brown skin on your meat. Please note that searing does not cook the meat all the way through. Once your meat has turned a lovely brown color, take it out of the pan for a longer cooking process, either in a slow cooker or in the oven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>To pan sear<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pat dry your chicken. Wet chicken will lead to hot oil splashing and burning you<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil\/butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your oil\/butter is hot enough, place chicken in a skillet, skin-side down if using skin-on chicken thighs, and cook, until golden brown. Flip to the other side and sear till golden brown.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ps. while larger\/thicker cuts might not cook all the way through with searing, thinner cut thighs can cook all the way through. This can take anywhere between 5 to 7 minutes per side. Use a cooking thermometer to check the inner temperature to make sure it\u2019s well cooked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=The_Perfect_Keto_Chicken_Thighs\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47207 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207659-1024x576.png\" alt=\"keto chicken thighs\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207659.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207659-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207659.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207659-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207659.png 1728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frying\"><\/span><strong>Frying<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing screams comfort meal more than some mouth watering deep fried chicken. An important fact to note is that while deep fried chicken is certainly delicious, it is not the healthiest option. Fried foods have a lot of unhealthy fats which may increase your risk of heart disease if they make up too large a portion of your calorie intake(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/fats\/trans-fat\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). If you choose to make some deep fried keto chicken thighs, make sure not to eat too many -or too often &#8211; and replace the bread crumbs required with either pork rinds, almond or coconut flour to keep the carbs intake low.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grilling\"><\/span><strong>Grilling<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another easy way to prepare your meat. Grilling works best during those hot summer nights or whenever you have guests over. Marinate your thighs in some sauces and herbs for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight) in the fridge for the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-chicken-casserole-recipes\/\">best flavor<\/a>. Place on the grill skin-side down and grill, flipping halfway through, until charred in spots and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165 \u00baF. This should take about 10 minutes for boneless thighs and up to 20 minutes for bone-in thighs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to build an attention-grabbing bubble butt, blast away fat that\u2019s stored in all the wrong places, spring-clean your diet, turn back the clock on your skin, skyrocket your self-confidence and shatter your insecurities?
