How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no sugar or dried fruits (like albukhara/plums) are used in the stuffing. Also ensure no breadcrumbs are used as a binder. Request plenty of cooking fat to keep the chicken moist.
Watch out for
Traditional Levengi stuffing often contains sugar, dried fruits (like plums/albukhara which are carby), and sometimes breadcrumbs. Some restaurants might use sugary glazes for roasting.
