Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Add the smoked paprika, brown sweetener, garlic salt, cayenne pepper and onion powder in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Sprinkle the mixture on all sides of the chicken thighs.
Heat an oven safe skillet to medium and add in the olive oil and butter.
Place the chicken thighs in the hot skillet, skin side down. Sear the chicken for a few minutes and don’t flip them over until you have a good sear on the skin. Keep a close eye on it though, since the spice rub has sweetener in it, it can burn pretty quickly.
Flip the chicken over and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of (optional) fresh lime juice over the tops and serve with your favorite low carb side.

Notes

Cooking time will vary greatly depending on the size of your chicken thighs. It's best to always use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is completely cooked through.
