Low carb bbq chicken thighs make a delicious entree ready in about 30 minutes. Here’s another low carb bowl that makes a delicious week night supper!
One of the key reasons this bbq bowl is so flavorful is the onions. You may use any type onion you like, here I have used a yellow onions. Be sure to slice the onions thinly and feel free to cook them even longer than the time listed in the recipe. This will add even more flavor to the finished dish.
Next, we turn our attention to the bbq sauce! Everyone has their favorite sauce, but do be aware that some sauces are very high in carbs due to added sugar. To make this recipe diabetes friendly, consider choosing a lower carb sauce or make your own sauce using low sugar ketchup, brown sugar substitute etc.
