Keto Lemon Pepper Chicken – Important Notes
Chicken – It’s best to use chicken wings for this recipe, you can use drumsticks if you want but the cooking time will be a bit longer depending on their size.
Lemon Juice – Go with lemon juice to get the best flavor, alternately Lime juice can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio.
Oil – I recommend using avocado oil for amazing flavor. Olive oil at a 1:1 ratio or coconut oil will also work just fine.
Make Ahead – These keto lemon pepper garlic chicken wings are great for meal planning when you want to surprise special ones for a quick dinner option. Prepare the marinade in advance, take the wings from the fridge and cook within 30-35 minutes.
Spices – Garlic powder and onion powder are recommended. Or substitute with 1-2 tsp minced garlic and onion.
How to store these keto baked lemon pepper chicken?
Pack them in the air-tight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to reheat, lay the wings evenly on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake until warmed through at 400 degrees. Also, reheat them in the microwave at 30-45 second increments until warmed through.
