Keto Chicken Recipes Dutch Oven

My favorite way to cook a whole chicken is in a dutch oven. The dutch oven captures all of the juices and bastes the chicken so it stays nice and juicy. Flavors of lemon and thyme really drive home that classic roast chicken flavor.

It doesn't get any more classic than roast chicken.  This Dutch Oven Chicken is so succulent, juicy, and flavorful, you will be oohing and aahing at every bite.  I'm not kidding.  Plus, it is so easy the prep only takes minutes.

Butter, salt, onion, lemon, thyme, garlic powder, and chicken.  That's all you need for this AMAZING roast chicken recipe.  Notice I put butter first...because without it this chicken would just be - meh.  Do you know how much I love butter?

The reason a dutch oven is the perfect vessel for a roast chicken is because it keeps in all of the juices so there is no need to baste.  I love my Staub dutch oven, but any old dutch oven you have that will hold the chicken will be perfect.

For some added flavor, I like to rest my whole chicken on thick slices of onion.  This helps keep the chicken up out of the juices.  You could use any vegetables you like such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips.  Just make sure they are all the same size...about 1 inch dice.

I like to mix my butter with all of the seasonings and use a basting brush (or my hands) to rub the mixture all over the chicken.

Cover with the lid and cook in a 400F oven for about 1 hour 30 minutes.  I pull mine when an internal meat thermometer reads 150F in the thickest part of the breast.  I then remove the lid and place the chicken under the broiler for about 5 minutes to give the chicken some color.  Make sure the internal temp reaches 165F before serving.

Keto White Chicken Chili Recipe (easy & Creamy!)

This chicken is a spin off my brother-in-laws Grecian chicken drumsticks-I changed it up so that the chicken cooks in a dutch oven- giving it crispy, delicious skin- and it requires a lot less effort!

Tying chicken drumsticks together isn’t strictly necessary – but we often take the extra step to tie together the drumsticks with a food grade twine to help keep our aromatics in the chicken.

Trussing a chicken also helps to preserve it’s shape, so it is pretty to serve at a dinner party – and it will brown and crisp more evenly when trussed.

Poultry should be cooked to 165 degrees F. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, look for the flesh to have no pink color left and for the juices to run clear when pierced or sliced with a knife. Cut into the breast to look for these signs of doneness for best results.

You can omit the lemons if preferred. While they add a scrumptious, bright flavor to this roast chicken, you’ll still end up with super flavorful, moist, and juicy chicken.
