Love low and slow BBQ? This BBQ chicken thighs recipe is sugar-free! Did you know that most sauces and condiments are filled with hidden sugars? One tablespoon of tomato sauce alone has a whole teaspoon of sugar! But BBQ season would not the be the same without the delicious sauces and marinades that add to the flavour of grilled dishes. Good thing there are sugar free options for those who are diabetic, or simply cutting down their sugar intake for a healthier lifestyle.  Here is a great recipe to try on the BBQ this summer.   [caption id="attachment_1274" align="aligncenter" width="640"]Sugar Free Slow BBQ Chicken Thigh with Xylitol. Sugar Free Slow BBQ Chicken Thigh with Xylitol.[/caption]     Low and Slow BBQ Chicken Thighs:
