Keto Lemon & Thyme Chicken

Servings 2
Calories 274 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 4 thigh & leg chicken quarters bone in, skin on
  • 3 T extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 T lemon juice from ½ a lemon
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Flat leaf parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the pieces of chicken in a food safe, re-sealable plastic bag. Make the marinade by mixing together the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme and garlic. Pour over the chicken pieces, seal the bag and place in refrigerator.
  • You can do this in the morning before heading out for the day, or an hour before you plan to cook your meal. The longer marinating time will result in a more lemony/garlic flavored chicken.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade but don’t pat it dry. Place the chicken pieces on a foil lined rimmed sheet allowing bits of garlic and thyme to cling to the chicken. Place on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 F.
