Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup keto-friendly BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 3
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate for 2 hours.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
While the grill is heating, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the keto-friendly BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the BBQ sauce mixture generously over the chicken thighs. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce caramelizes slightly.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Keto Classic Chicken BBQ hot, with your favorite keto-friendly sides or salads.
