Derho Kila'e
Eritrean Spiced Whole Roasted Chicken
Yes, with a tweak: must be served without injera. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Eritrean dishes.
What it is
A whole chicken marinated in a robust blend of Eritrean spices, including berbere, garlic, and ginger, then slow-roasted to achieve a moist interior and a beautifully spiced, crispy skin. A flavorful alternative to the stewed Doro Wot.
Key ingredients
Whole chicken, berbere spice blend, garlic, ginger, onion, lemon juice, olive oil or kibe (clarified butter), salt.
How to make it keto
Must be served without injera. Verify that the marinade and spice blend do not contain added sugars. Request minimal onion if concerned about carb count.
Watch out for
Onions and garlic in the marinade, potential hidden sugars in commercial berbere or other spice mixes.
