Creating the perfect Low Carb BBQ Chicken Thighs is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mix over the chicken thighs.
3. Preheat Pan: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Sear Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they’re browned and cooked through.
5. Add BBQ Sauce: Pour the low-carb BBQ sauce over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are covered well. Reduce the heat to low.
6. Simmer: Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes so it absorbs the flavors.
7. Check Doneness: Ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
9. Slice and Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
