Ingredients
  

Base:

  • 24 ounce bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder such as Penzey's Chili 9000
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cup beef broth
  • salt and pepper to taste

BBQ Sauce:

  • ¼ cup low-carb ketchup
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste such as sambal oelek
  • 2 ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder such as Penzey's Chili 9000
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ cup butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Debone the chicken thighs, setting the bones aside, and season well with chili powder. Place on a baking tray lined with foil.
  • Bake for 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the chicken fat or olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the chicken bones. Let these cook for at least 5 minutes, and then add in the broths. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the chicken is done, remove the skins and set them aside for later. Add the fat from the chicken thighs into the broth and stir.
  • Make the BBQ sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients.
  • Add the BBQ sauce to the pot and stir together. Let simmer for 20–30 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to emulsify the fats and liquids together. Shred the chicken thighs and add them to the soup. Simmer for another 10–20 minutes.
  • Serve with chicken skins on the side and enjoy!
