Keto Jerk Chicken
Keto Jerk Chicken! Let me introduce Keto Jerk Chicken! The Keto journey continues! My two sons have made this a lifestyle. Yes, there are times that it makes it really hard to stick to it but they accept it and move forward.
The recipes that we have discovered along this trek have been amazing and work for almost any diet or family. This one will not disappoint!

1 12/ tsp ground allspice
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp cinnamon
salt

Popping in from Miz Helen! These look great! Have you tried them with boneless, skinless thighs?
I have but I think the bone in has more flavor
How is this Keto if there’s brown sugar?
you can have a little bit but if you don’t want to use that replace it with an artificial sweetener
