Spicy – For a spicy, add 1 chipotle chili pepper, finely diced to your BBQ Sauce. Or, add sliced serrano peppers during the last few minutes of cooking. For a smokier flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika and 2 teaspoons of liquid smoke to your BBQ sauce.

Make perfect keto sticky bbq chicken – Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your chicken to adjust the overall cooking time and doneness.

Sweetener – Add molasses as directed, the amount we are using has only 2g of net carbs. Or you can use Swerve brown sugar.

Chicken – You can use tenderloins to get the perfect tender and juicy chicken. Otherwise use chicken wings, chicken breasts, and bone-in skin-on chicken thighs. If cooking breasts with thighs, check on the cooking time as breasts get overcooked before thighs are done.

Oil – Use avocado or olive oil. Avoid canola oil as it is not that healthy.
