How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request no sugary BBQ sauce. Confirm the rub does not contain sugar or ask for a very simple salt and pepper rub. Request a side of non-starchy vegetables like un-sweetened cole slaw (no sugary dressing) or steamed green beans instead of traditional high-carb BBQ sides.
Watch out for
Sugary BBQ sauces, sugary rubs, high-carb sides (cornbread, potato salad, baked beans, macaroni and cheese).
