Easy Keto Barbecue Chicken Thighs
  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place the inner side of each chicken thigh on the preheated grill and brush the top of each with 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce. Grill without moving for 3 minutes, watching for flare-ups, and move the chicken to a different part of the grill if they occur.

  3. 3

    Turn the chicken pieces and brush each side with another 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce. Continue grilling, turning the pieces three more times, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 6 minutes per side. Serve with additional sauce.
