Tips
Use a no-added-sugar BBQ sauce to keep carbs low and blood sugar stable.
Serve with roasted vegetables or a cucumber salad for a balanced plate.
Chicken thighs are naturally moist and rich in flavor, making them ideal for portion-controlled meals.
Grill option: This recipe works well on a grill over medium heat too.
