Kotopoulo Fournou
Oven-Baked Chicken with Herbs (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes or any starchy side dishes. About 4g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A whole or half chicken, slow-baked in the oven until tender and juicy, typically seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. While traditionally served with roasted potatoes, these must be omitted for a keto diet. Focus on the crispy skin and flavorful meat.
Key ingredients
Chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes or any starchy side dishes. Ask for a simple side of steamed greens (if not excluded from your list) or a plain green salad with olive oil and vinegar instead.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Κοτόπουλο Φούρνου, παρακαλώ. Όχι πατάτες ή αμυλούχα συνοδευτικά. Αντ' αυτού, με βραστά χόρτα ή απλή πράσινη σαλάτα με λάδι και ξύδι.
Kotopoulo Fournou, please. No potatoes or starchy sides. With steamed greens or a plain green salad with olive oil and vinegar instead.
Watch out for
Potatoes (standard accompaniment), potential hidden sugars in pre-made marinades (rare for this simple dish), flour dusting (very rare for whole roasted chicken).
