Creating Low Carb BBQ Chicken Thighs is straightforward. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the low-carb BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-lock bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven or Grill: If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the marinated chicken thighs out of the refrigerator. Let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
5. Grilling Method: Place the chicken thighs on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Baking Method: Place the thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill or oven. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Final Touch: Optional – brush with additional BBQ sauce before serving for extra flavor.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken thighs for an added touch of freshness.

These simple steps will guide you to achieving tender, juicy Low Carb BBQ Chicken Thighs that are sure to impress.
