four steps to making keto chicken on the bbq

Prepare grill by cleaning grill grates and turning the temperature up to medium heat.

Add chicken to the grill (Photo 2) and grill for 6-8 minutes on one side before flipping and grilling for another 6-8 minutes. (Photo 3)

TIP: This is my favorite budget-friendly meat thermometer!

Using a meat thermometer, ensure that the thickest part of the chicken has reached at least 165 F. If it hasn’t, continue grilling until the meat reaches a safe temperature. (Photo 4)
