키토 닭꼬치 (간장/소금 양념)
Keto Grilled Chicken Skewers (Plain/Soy-Marinated)
Yes, with a tweak: request plain grilled chicken with just salt and pepper, or ensure any soy-based marinade used is confirmed sugar-free. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Korean dishes.
What it is
Skewered chicken pieces (often chicken thigh for juiciness) grilled until tender and juicy, typically seasoned simply with salt and pepper, or with a sugar-free soy marinade, to avoid traditional sweet glazes.
Key ingredients
Chicken thigh/breast, salt, black pepper, soy sauce (sugar-free), garlic, sesame oil, green onions.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request plain grilled chicken with just salt and pepper, or ensure any soy-based marinade used is confirmed sugar-free. Absolutely avoid the common sweet gochujang or teriyaki-style glazes that are typically used.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
닭꼬치는 설탕 없는 소금 후추 간으로만 해주세요. 단 양념은 빼주세요.
For the Dakkochi, please grill it plain with only salt and pepper. No sweet glazes or sugary marinades.
Watch out for
The most significant risk is the traditional sweet glaze or marinade that is commonly applied to Dak Kkochi. Confirm it's omitted or replaced with a keto-compliant version. Some restaurants might serve it with bell peppers or onions, which are fine in moderation.
