Keto eating in Canada means chicken thighs are your best friend — they have enough fat to keep you satisfied, they're cheaper than breast at every IGA and Metro, and they're nearly impossible to overcook. This garlic butter version is the weeknight keto dinner that takes 30 minutes and one pan: bone-in skin-on thighs seared until the skin is crackling, then finished in a sauce of butter, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh thyme. The rendered chicken fat mixes with the melted butter to create a sauce that's technically just fat, but it tastes like a French chef made it. Serve with steamed broccoli or cauliflower mash to keep the carb count under 5g per serving.

Conseils de pro

  • 💡Skin-side down for a full 12 minutes without touching — this is how you get restaurant-level crispy skin at home.
  • 💡Bone-in thighs at IGA or Metro are usually $3-4/lb versus breast at $7-9/lb. Keto eating is actually cheaper.
  • 💡Don't burn the garlic — lower the heat when you add it. Burnt garlic turns bitter and ruins the sauce.

Variantes

  • 🔄Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the garlic butter for a creamy version that's still keto-friendly.
  • 🔄Toss in a handful of sun-dried tomatoes and spinach for a Tuscan keto chicken.
  • 🔄Use ghee instead of butter for a dairy-free keto option.
