Description
A delightful recipe for Keto Sumac Chicken Thighs served with a creamy garlic yogurt sauce, perfect for a flavorful and healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sumac spice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sumac, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until well blended.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and ensure each piece is generously coated with the marinade. Allow the chicken to sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to enhance the flavors.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin-side facing up.
- Roast in the oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is golden and crispy, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is roasting, prepare the creamy garlic dip by combining the Greek yogurt, chopped garlic, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- After baking, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.
- Serve the succulent chicken thighs warm, topped with the creamy garlic dip and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Feel free to swap the Greek yogurt for sour cream if you prefer a richer taste.
