Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup keto-friendly BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This will help the skin get crispy.
Step 4
Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring the skin and the meat are well coated.
Step 5
Place the marinated chicken thighs, skin-side up, in the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Brush the keto-friendly BBQ sauce generously over each chicken thigh, covering all surfaces.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the BBQ sauce is bubbling and starting to caramelize.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
