Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-carb BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Drizzle the olive oil over them and rub it in to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring to get some under the skin.
Place the chicken thighs skin side up in a baking dish.
Brush a generous amount of low-carb BBQ sauce over each chicken thigh, reserving some for later.
Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
Halfway through baking, baste the chicken thighs with additional BBQ sauce.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving for added flavor and garnish.
