How to make it keto
Request no fries or rice. Ask for a side salad with olive oil and vinegar, or steamed non-starchy vegetables. Inquire about the sugar content in the Piri-Piri sauce; if high, ask for plain grilled chicken seasoned with olive oil and spices, with the Piri-Piri sauce on the side to control quantity, or skip it entirely.
