Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Low-carb BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the seasoning sticks well.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over each chicken thigh, coating them well.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a single layer in a baking dish.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and generously brush each thigh with the low-carb BBQ sauce.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the sauce has caramelized.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite low-carb sides, such as a green salad or roasted vegetables.
