Fried Bone-In Chicken Chicharrón (Unbreaded, Keto)
Yes, keto as served. Almost no net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Dominican dishes.
What it is
Rustic, crispy bone-in chicken pieces (typically thighs and drumsticks), fried until the skin is golden and crunchy, and the meat remains juicy and tender. Seasoned simply with garlic, oregano, and salt, without any flour, cornstarch, or breading.
Key ingredients
Bone-in chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, wings), frying oil (e.g., vegetable, canola), fresh garlic, dried oregano, lime juice, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Crucially, verify no flour, cornstarch, or breading is used on the chicken. Request no starchy sides (e.g., french fries, fried plantains, rice) as they are standard accompaniments.
Watch out for
Flour/starch breading, deep-frying in conventional high-carb oils (though fat is fine, some oils are inflammatory), sugary seasoning blends, high-carb side dishes served by default.
