Bahamian Baked Chicken Thighs with Sour Orange and Limited Pigeon Peas (Keto Modified)

Yes, with a tweak: strictly limit the portion of pigeon peas to a few tablespoons per serving. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bahamian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Juicy chicken thighs are baked until golden, seasoned with a zesty sour orange marinade, and accompanied by a small, controlled portion of tender pigeon peas, bell peppers, and herbs. A comforting Bahamian classic adjusted for a keto lifestyle.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on), sour orange juice, olive oil, garlic, onion (limited), bell peppers, fresh thyme, pigeon peas (limited), salt, pepper, paprika.
How to make it keto
Strictly limit the portion of pigeon peas to a few tablespoons per serving. Ensure no sugary marinades or sauces. Request a small amount of onion.
Watch out for
Pigeon peas are legumes and are high in carbs; strict portion control is essential. Onions and bell peppers add natural sugars. Sour orange itself contains natural carbs.
