Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Drizzle the olive oil over them and rub it in to coat evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring to get some under the skin.
Step 5
Place the chicken thighs skin side up in a baking dish.
Step 6
Brush a generous amount of low-carb BBQ sauce over each chicken thigh, reserving some for later.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Halfway through baking, baste the chicken thighs with additional BBQ sauce.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 10
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving for added flavor and garnish.
