Low Carb Roasted Chicken Thighs & Sides
A Roasted Chicken Thigh, faux rice, zucchini squash casserole, and deviled eggs will more than entertain your pallet and keep you comfortably on the path of limiting your carbohydrates.
Trimmed 3 fresh Foster Farms Chicken Thighs of excess skin & fat. Even though many say that under a Low Carb Lifestyle you don’t need to restrict your fat and skin intake I still prefer, in my old age, to forgo eating Chicken skin.

Smoked Herb Turkey Roast
Smoking, Roasting, Baking, Grilling meats, poultry, cheese, and seafood is a wonderful way to provide protein for a Low Carbohydrate lifestyle. It’s a great way to marry my smoking hobby with our decision to eat low carb meals. Chose a fresh 3 lb Ready to Roast or Grill Foster Farms Classic Herb Turkey Roast (comprised of White & Dark Meat) which has 1g of carbs per serving.
I prefer to use my own selection of dry rubs, marinades, and/or brine solutions but experience has shown that pre-seasoned roasts and poultry provides wonderful alternatives.

Low Carb Meatballs á la Pizza Mozzarella
Like everyone who is choosing a Low Carbohydrate lifestyle I am always looking for new recipes to add to my repertoire in order to provide exciting alternatives to our daily menu. Nothing worse than finding yourself in a rut where you’re constantly preparing the same meals over and over. This recipe is a compilation of various Low Carb Beef Meatball recipes I found on the Internet. Many recipes use the meatballs with Marinara Sauce or Spaghetti Sauce. Turns out that most of these sauces have similar Carb numbers of 12-15 per serving while the Pizza Sauce that I used only has 5 carbs per serving. Found that the pizza sauce also added that special zing.

Found some Chicken Quarters at my local grocery store for 88¢/lb … couldn’t pass them up. Three meals for the two of us for under $5 … doesn’t get any better than this!!
Brine:

- 3 tsp Garlic Juice ( 1 tsp = ½ clove )
- 3 Tbsp Poultry Seasoning (thyme, sage, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, nutmeg)

Brine Chicken Quarters in the fridge for 5 hours. Allow to drain/dry on rack while preheating MAK 2 Star to 350ºF for 30 minutes using Pacific Pellet Gourmet Hickory BBQ pellets. Cooked at 350ºF for approximately 1¼ hours until IT reached 180ºF. Rested under foil tent for 20 minutes before serving … Scrumptious !!!
