Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Chicken legs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Low-carb BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Stevia extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil to make a spice rub.
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mixture evenly over each chicken leg.
Place the chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
In another bowl, combine the low-carb BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and stevia extract to make the basting sauce.
Bake the chicken legs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken legs from the oven and baste with the BBQ sauce mixture. Ensure the sauce covers each leg generously.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with a side of low-carb vegetables or your favorite salad.
