The best low-carb and keto chicken recipes
Chicken is a wonderful source of protein and it’s a delicious option on a low-carb or keto diet. It’s versatile and often loved by eaters of all ages. By itself, chicken is way too lean to be keto (especially chicken breast without skin), but with added fat and some vegetables you’re able to make fantastic ketogenic meals.
When you buy chicken, it’s often a better deal to buy a whole chicken and divide it into pieces yourself. Chicken breast is usually the most expensive part and also the leanest. We suggest leaving it in the store and opt for thighs, with or without the bone in, instead. They often come cheaper, have more natural fat and therefore more flavor. If you can get pieces with the skin on, it’s even better! You’ll find more tips on how to cook chicken below.
If you have some leftover chicken skin, there’s no need to throw it away. Did you know that baked chicken skin is an excellent crispy snack? Check out our Crispy chicken skin recipe to find out how to make these delicious little bites.
