Tuzda Tavuk (Bütün, Keto Sebzeli)
Salt-Crusted Whole Chicken (with Keto Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no carb-heavy stuffing (like rice or bulgur) is used inside the chicken. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A whole chicken baked in a thick crust of coarse sea salt, which expertly seals in all the moisture and flavor, resulting in incredibly tender, succulent meat. The salt crust is removed at the table. For a keto meal, it is served with a selection of keto-friendly grilled or steamed vegetables, omitting any carb-heavy sides.
Key ingredients
Whole chicken, coarse sea salt, egg whites (for salt crust adhesion), fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, bay leaf), keto vegetables (e.g., broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, green beans).
How to make it keto
Ensure no carb-heavy stuffing (like rice or bulgur) is used inside the chicken. Request keto-friendly vegetable sides only; no potatoes, rice, or bread.
Watch out for
Traditional carb-based stuffing inside the chicken. Carby side dishes such as rice, potatoes, or bread are common. Confirm with staff.
