Keto BBQ Sauce Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
Chicken Thighs
- 6-8 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
Keto BBQ Sauce
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup keto friendly maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Heat your outdoor grill over medium high heat. Works with gas, charcoal or smoker grill. On our Traeger, we set the temperature to 375ºF. (See Recipe Notes below for oven instructions)
- Add the chicken thighs to a plate, and drizzle with avocado oil, salt and pepper.
- Grill for 25-35 minutes with the lid on, until the chicken thighs are almost cooked through.
- While the chicken thighs are grilling, make the BBQ sauce. In a sauce pan over medium heat, add all the BBQ sauce ingredients, whisk and bring to a simmer for 1 minute. Simmering it will help all the flavors to marry and thicken the sauce a bit.
- Slather each side of the chicken thighs in bbq sauce, close your grill lid and cook another 5 minutes.
- Remove from the grill. Serve warm.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container refrigerated for at least 5 days, or frozen for at least 6 months.
- See the Recipe Notes below for more tips, FAQ's and ingredient substitutions.

Would allulose work in the BBQ sauce?
Yes! You may need less because it has a stronger concentrate of sweetness. Sweeten to taste!
These are so good!
Hi! This looks amazing! Do you by chance know how long it would take to bake using chicken breasts? I’m on a high protein, low fat diet, so I don’t want to use thighs. Would I still use 425 degrees? Thank you!
Yes I would bake it for 25 minutes and brush with bbq sauce, then bake for 5 additional minutes.
