How to make it keto
Ensure the coating is made from almond flour, crushed pork rinds, or grated Parmesan instead of traditional breadcrumbs. Pan-fry in butter or bake instead of deep-frying in questionable oils.
Watch out for
Hidden starch in binding agents if not specified as keto, or if restaurant uses small amount of flour for thickening. Cross-contamination if fried in shared fryer.
