Ingredients
BBQ Sauce
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small chunk ginger
- 2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener
Chicken
- 1 whole chicken weighing approximately 4 pounds
- olive oil for coating optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk the water into the tomato paste.
- Add other BBQ sauce ingredients and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- If desired, divide the chicken into parts. Coat either the whole chicken or the parts with olive oil.
- Spoon and spread the BBQ sauce evenly over chicken.
- Grill or bake at 350 degrees (375 if you prefer more of a "grilled" effect) for 50 minutes or until internal temperature reaches at least 180 degrees. My family prefers the chicken more well-done so I cook it a bit longer.
Notes
- Soy-free option: You can substitute coconut aminos for tamari or soy sauce if needed.
- Chili powder: Use your favorite blend or try a homemade chili powder for the best flavor.
- Acid swap: Lemon juice can be used in place of apple cider vinegar if preferred.
- Garlic substitute: Use 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.
- Onion substitute: Replace fresh onion with 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion.
- Ginger substitute: Use 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger instead of fresh.
