Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Keto-friendly BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This will help the skin get crispy.
Brush each chicken thigh with olive oil to coat it evenly.
Rub the spice mixture onto the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly seasoned.
Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin side up, making sure they are spaced apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and brush each thigh generously with the keto-friendly BBQ sauce.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb side dishes and enjoy your delicious keto BBQ chicken thighs.
