This keto roasted chicken recipe is a great way to get all the benefits of a keto diet without all the carbs. What is a keto diet? A keto diet is low carb, a diet in which you eat a lot of fat, but it is not a high fat diet. It is also not a low carb diet, since by restricting carbohydrates you can still have plenty of carbs in your diet. Although you are not allowed to eat carbs, you are allowed to eat fat, which is what gives you the energy you need. Without too much fat you can not get the energy you need, but with too much fat you get the same results as if you eat a lot of carbs.
Your senses are on overdrive when you smell the spices, take in the aroma of the chicken’s marinade and the moment the meat touches your tongue you get that burst of flavor. This lemon chicken is perfect for your holiday meal but also for everyday.

What a great and easy idea for a family dinner!
Chicken breasts and legs can be used if desired. Can also be served with additional roasted vegetables. I steamed this chicken with roasted Brussels sprouts and a big salad. Such a simple and tasty dish! Enjoy it.
