Savor Low Carb BBQ chicken thighs with a delicious twist This recipe delivers flavor and satisfaction without the carbs Perfect for any meal


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup of tomato paste
  • ¼ cup of sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the tomato paste and sweetener, and whisk until well blended. Add the chicken thighs and toss until they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for optimal flavor.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or, if using an oven, set to 375°F (190°C). Ensure that the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow excess to drip off. Keep the leftover marinade for basting. If you are grilling, place the chicken directly on the grill. For oven cooking, place the chicken thighs in a baking dish skin-side up.
  • Grill the chicken for about 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C). If using an oven, bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • During the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the chicken to enhance the flavor. Grill or bake until the chicken is caramelized and the edges are crispy.
  • Remove the chicken from the heat, cover with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Notes

    Succulent chicken thighs slathered in a homemade, low-sugar BBQ sauce that doesn’t compromise on taste or health.
