It’s often great to have a partner in crime when it comes to hosting dinner parties.  This time around mine came up with these delicious BBQ Rubbed Chicken Thighs.  They are easy to assemble and straightforward to cook.  However, I honestly think that the best thing about this chicken recipe is how versatile it is.  You can certainly serve these on their own.  But they are also great cut up in a salad, sliced on a sandwich, or in a wrap.

What You Need to Make Keto BBQ Rubbed Chicken Thighs

Equipment

  • Measuring Spoons
  • Small Bowl
  • Zip Top Bag
  • Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
  • Wire Rack Insert for Rimmed Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • Chicken Thighs – Boneless Skinless 
  • Sukrin Gold or Swerve Brown
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Chipotle Pepper
  • Cumin
  • Cinnamon
  • Paprika
  • Black Pepper
  • Kosher Salt

Getting Started with Making Keto BBQ Rubbed Chicken Thighs

Start by combining all of the spices with the Sukrin Gold or Swerve Brown.  

Pat the chicken thighs dry.  

You can either rub the spices on the chicken by hand or toss them all in a zip top bag and shake them with the rub.  

Preheat the oven to 250° and put it on the Convection Roast setting if your oven has one.  If your oven doesn’t have a Convection Roast setting, don’t worry. Still set it to 250° F. It will likely just need an extra 5 – 10 minutes. Or . . . you can increase the temperature in your conventional oven to 275°F and it will be about the same amount of time as with the Convection Roast setting. The thermometer will tell you when it’s done regardless of method.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil and insert a wire rack on top.  

Lay out the Keto BBQ Rubbed Chicken Thighs and bake until done.  About 40 minutes.  Use a meat thermometer to confirm.
