BBQ sauce in a bowl with a spoon for putting on chicken

Effortless and No Guilt BBQ Chicken

This recipe is super easy to make and also gluten free, sugar free, and low carb! I make it twice a week, sometimes even more! It goes great with cauliflower rice, sweet potatoes, and any greens! Since we’re going to be using a foil-lined baking dish, cleaning up is also a breeze!

I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think if you give it a go!
