What it is
A whole or half chicken, seasoned with traditional Austrian spices (like paprika and marjoram) and roasted until the skin is golden and crispy, and the meat is tender. A comforting and traditional meal, easily made keto by omitting high-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Whole chicken (or half), salt, pepper, paprika, marjoram, thyme, cooking fat (butter or oil).
How to make it keto
Request no starchy sides (e.g., roasted potatoes, bread stuffing). Ask for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar, or steamed low-carb vegetables like spinach or green beans. Ensure no sugary marinades are used.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Das Brathendl bitte ohne Bratkartoffeln oder Brotfülle. Dazu einen grünen Salat mit Öl/Essig oder gedämpftes kohlenhydratarmes Gemüse. Bitte keine zuckerhaltigen Marinaden.
For the Brathendl, no roasted potatoes or bread stuffing. I'd like a green salad with oil/vinegar or steamed low-carb vegetables. Please ensure no sugary marinades.
Watch out for
Pre-made spice rubs or marinades can contain sugar or starches. Ensure no bread-based stuffing is included. Some restaurants may brush with honey or sugary glazes for extra crispness.
