Keto Caramelized Vietnamese Chicken. I have done this with boneless skin-on chicken thighs which are my favorite parts of a chicken but any part(s) will work. I can easily bone my own thighs because I want the skin on but it’s totally not necessary. I also shop in a grocery that will de-bone them for me at no extra charge so to save work I am now having that done. Bottom line: You want skin-on thighs and it does not matter if the bone is still in.
This keto caramelized Vietnamese chicken is a pretty good example of what Asians call balanced as it is, salty, sour, sweet, and spicy yet, it is very easy to make and fun to eat.
