Are you looking for a delicious and satisfying low-carb meal that’s perfect for both meal prep and dinner? In this blog post, we’re sharing an incredible Keto BBQ Chicken Thighs Recipe inspired by a fantastic video. This dish is packed with flavor, tender chicken, and a homemade keto-friendly barbecue sauce that even non-keto eaters will love. Whether you’re prepping meals for the week or cooking up a storm for dinner, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
This recipe takes you through the process of creating a mouthwatering low-carb keto BBQ chicken dish that serves six portions, ideal for meal prep or a family dinner. The journey begins with preparing three pounds of chicken thighs (or breasts), trimming excess fat, and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. A unique step called “velveting” involves mixing baking soda with the chicken to ensure it stays juicy and tender. Meanwhile, veggies like red and green bell peppers and onions are chopped and set aside.
Next, a low-carb breading mixture is prepared using crushed pork rinds (or Parmesan crisps), grated Parmesan cheese, and almond flour. Each piece of chicken is dipped in an egg wash before being coated in the breading. For the star of the show, a homemade keto BBQ sauce is made using apple cider vinegar, no-sugar ketchup, zero-calorie brown sugar substitute (Swerve), Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, hot sauce, and spices like paprika, garlic salt, and onion powder. This sauce simmers on the stove until thickened, creating a rich, smoky flavor.
The breaded chicken is cooked in batches in a wok over medium heat until golden brown and fully cooked. Once done, the chicken is tossed with the veggies and BBQ sauce, resulting in a perfectly balanced, flavorful dish. To complete the meal prep, cauliflower rice is used as a base, and the chicken and veggies are evenly distributed into six containers, topped with green onions. These meals can be stored in the fridge for up to five days.
This low-carb, high-protein recipe is ideal for anyone following a keto diet, but its incredible taste makes it appealing to everyone at the table. Watch the embedded video for step-by-step guidance and get ready to enjoy this delightful creation!
