The best low-carb and keto chicken recipes
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.
Here’s our low-carb and keto selection of chicken recipes, there are casseroles, crispy alternatives and juicy wings.

How to cook chicken
When cooking poultry you need to make sure that the meat is fully cooked or you risk getting sick. To be on the safe side, it’s wise to use a cooking thermometer. When cooking chicken breast, you place the thermometer in the middle of the thickest part. When the temperature reaches 162°F (72°C), it’s ready.When cooking a whole bird it’s usually best to place the tip of the thermometer right next to the bone in the thigh. Make sure it reaches 180°F (82°C) before serving it.
Like any other meat, poultry benefits from resting for 10–15 minutes before serving.
It's per serving.
The serving size is right above the ingredient list in the recipe. The Frittata recipe says 4 servings. I make that and divide it into 4 separate containers and then put them in the fridge. Quick and easy breakfast after a minute in the microwave. You can change the serving number and it'll change the ingredient list. Give higher or lower amounts of ingredients depending on the serving size you choose. You can also choose US or Metric measurements. Just divide the finished recipe, whatever it is, by the serving number you used and you'll get the macro numbers listed in the recipe.
You can fry it quickly before starting any recipe if you need it crispy.

from vegetables) and not more then 20-25g/day. Usually if you eat meat and vegetables, there should be no problem to stay below that mark (that depending of course what exactly you eat. Green vegetable and above the ground ones are the lowest in carbs). Now, about the 8H window, like I said is refering to the Intermitent fasting, witch means you try to eat your meals of a day in a window of a chosen period of time. It can be 12,8,6,4 and even 1H, then for the rest of them, until 24H mark, you only drink water. This way, your body will not waste precious energy on digesting all the time but instead it will work on regenerating your body. You do not have to start both in the same time. You can start Keto, then after few week, you can try incorporating IF. first you skip Bk, few weeks after, you'll try to have your fist meal of the day even later then before, and so on, until you find a period that suits you. It might sound hard but once your body starts to use fat for energy, you will not be so hungry all the time and will notice you do not require eating so often anymore.
@Saira - You can have anything you want as long as you do not go higher then 25g of carbs. You can have only meat or only salad or both, soup, casserole... it does not matter how you combine your meals as long as it takes good, you like it and it does not go above the limit of carbs.
You can drink black coffee. Some find they can add a little cream as well without interfering with their results.
