Description

These keto-friendly and low-carb chicken thighs are packed with tangy lemon and garlic flavor. Serve with mashed cauliflower or your favorite keto side dish.

Ingredients

1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
4 lemon wedges

Directions

1 Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Set marinade aside.
2 Place chicken thighs into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken and seal bag, making sure to cover all parts of chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3 Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4 Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken pieces in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary.
5 Fry until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 22 to 24 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Squeeze a lemon wedge over each piece upon serving.
