How to make it keto
Request no traditional starchy sides like roasted potatoes or rice. Ask for non-starchy vegetables such as sautéed spinach, asparagus, or green beans cooked simply with butter or olive oil. Confirm no sugary glazes are used on the chicken.
Watch out for
Potato or rice sides. Potential sugary glazes on the chicken skin (less common for classic roast chicken but worth confirming). Creamed spinach can sometimes have a touch of flour thickener or cheese with lactose carbs.
