I accidentally ordered too many chicken wings last week and I needed to come up with several different ways to prepare all 13 pounds of them! I am also in the mood for BBQ Ribs, so a ketofied sauce needed to happen.

Are you trying to lick your screen right now?

Why can’t I just buy Keto BBQ Sauce?

In a perfect world you could, but for the most part Keto products currently on the market are not truly keto. Most are made with sucralose (bleached sugar) that spikes your blood glucose levels and causes your body to release insulin, which is not what we want!

Some other supposed Keto sauces contain dextrin or maltose which are both forms of sugar. It is much safer to create your own yummy sauce at home and know exactly what goes into it!

Recipes that use BBQ Sauce:

Instant Pot Barbecue Ribs – I seasoned the ribs with Southwest Seasoning and used 1 cup of water to cook.
Barbecue Chicken Thighs – on the grill
Instant Pot BBQ Whole Chicken

I also have a Sugar Free BBQ Sauce with a spicier, southwest flavor that you might like if a sweet sauce is not your thing.

Enjoy!!
