How to make it keto
Explicitly request the chicken to be prepared WITHOUT breading. Ask for it to be pan-fried or baked instead of deep-fried. Confirm no starchy sides (like mashed potatoes) are included.
Watch out for
The traditional breading is made from wheat flour and breadcrumbs, which are high in carbs. Ensure no flour or breadcrumbs are used in preparation. Often served with mashed potatoes or rice.
