How to make it keto
Omit any potato sides (fries, roasted potatoes). Request a plain green salad with oil and vinegar dressing, steamed green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans), or plain sauerkraut.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Keine Kartoffelbeilagen zur Hähnchenkeule, bitte. Stattdessen einen grünen Salat (Öl/Essig), gedämpftes grünes Gemüse oder Sauerkraut.
No potato sides with the Hähnchenkeule, please. I'd like a plain green salad (oil/vinegar), steamed green vegetables, or plain sauerkraut.
Watch out for
Fries or potato sides, sugary rubs or marinades (less common for traditional roasted chicken, but possible).
