How to make it keto
Absolutely no sugar in the marinade. Request plain grilled chicken or confirm a sugar-free marinade. Ask for a side of plain, low-carb vegetables if available.
Watch out for
High levels of sugar in traditional marinades and glazes. Some restaurants might use commercially prepared marinades with hidden sugars.
