Ingredients

4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup Guy’s Award Winning BBQ Sauce or other low carb barbecue sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425F (a convection oven is the best method for this recipe).
Trim any excess skin or fat from bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the chicken on a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking pan. You may like to oil or grease the rack if it isn't non-stick.
In a small bowl, mix together baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken skin.
Bake for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before brushing each piece of chicken with BBQ sauce.
