Chicken pieces, piri-piri sauce (sugar-free), dry beer (minimal, for marinade), olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, fresh green salad (lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, olive oil, vinegar).
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or rice. Confirm the piri-piri sauce is sugar-free or has minimal sugar. Ensure the beer is used sparingly for marinade flavor and largely cooks off. Serve with a simple olive oil and vinegar dressed green salad.
Watch out for
Piri-piri sauces can contain hidden sugars. Beer is high in carbs; ensure it's used only for flavor and mostly evaporates. Glazes or basting sauces may contain sugar. Salad dressings can contain sugar.
