Since 1960, per capita chicken consumption has increased by over 400%. Needless to say, chicken is one of America’s biggest staple foods. Most people will favor chicken breasts over thighs and <anchor>drumsticks</anchor> because we’ve been incorrectly told leaner meats are better for us. On a keto diet, you’re going to want to opt for the fattier cuts. Not only are they cheaper, but they taste a lot better too. Chicken is great for prepping in bulk and including in your keto meal plan for the week. If you’re looking for new chicken recipes, try the most popular one on our blog – Keto Butter Chicken.

## Why Do We Prefer Bone In Chicken?

There are so many reasons we prefer to eat bone in chicken and once you read why, we promise you’ll become a convert! We love bone in for the following reasons:

1. The chicken always come our juicier and never dry
2. Slow roasting anything on the bone is way more nutritious for you then off the bone (i.e. glycine)
3. If it’s bone in, it’s always skin on, which means more fat and flavor
4. Removing the bone from meat is a hassel
5. It’s guaranteed to always be more delicious!

You can’t fight nutrition or flavor in the case of bone in vs bone out. Next time you are thinking of buying boneless chicken thighs, reconsider, get the bone in skin on and live a happier, more delicious life!

These Oven Baked Drumsticks combine tender chicken and a creamy butter and herb sauce for a busy weeknight dinner! Keeping the bone in chicken makes this recipe juicier, more nutritious, more fatty, and more flavorful!
