Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix olive oil, garlic powder, hot sauce, and salt in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and stir to cover; alternatively, brush the mixture all over the thighs.
- Place the chicken in a greased baking dish with the skin side up. Bake in the oven for about 40-50 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. If you use a thermometer it should read 165°F (75°C) when ready.
- In the meantime, shred the cabbage finely with a knife or food processor.
- Melt butter in a skillet and fry cabbage over medium heat until soft and golden brown around the edges. Salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, paprika powder, and hot sauce or tabasco. Combine well.
- Serve the chicken and cabbage with a dollop of flavored mayonnaise and perhaps an extra dash of hot sauce if you like, enjoy.
Tips
It doesn't always have to be cabbage. Feel free to try this meal with any sautéed low-carb vegetable, even endive!
For hot sauce you can use tabasco or sriracha sauce. Feel free to add more or less, depending on how spicy you like it.

Just dont buy light mayo or some fancy kind in the store. Just regular plain mayo will do the job.
me a lot of leftovers. Today I made half the recipe and have just enough for lunch tomorrow.

Will this have an effect on my keto diet and prevent me from entering ketosis?
Great job mixing it up a bit!
The 8g are net carbs (13g total carbs). Are you looking at total or net in Carb Manager?
Sounds great! So glad you enjoyed it!
The chicken should freeze fine, but I would not attempt to freeze the cabbage. It would be best to make the cabbage fresh.
But I wanted to note that 180º F is way overcooked. The standard temperature for cooked chicken is 165º F. And it takes 30-40 minutes, depending on how big the chicken pieces are.
A couple of other comments: it's standard to use blue cheese with Buffalo wings, so I'd make a blue cheese mayo or ranch dressing with blue cheese. Maybe do a blue cheese sauce on the cabbage.
Last, you can freeze the cooked cabbage. It will probably be less crunchy after it's reheated. But it will be safe to eat.
