Chicken is a wonderful protein source, and it’s a delicious option on a low-carb or keto diet. It’s versatile and often admired by ages. By itself, chicken is too lean to be keto (especially chicken breast without skin), but with added fat and some vegetables, you’re capable of making fantastic ketogenic meals.

How to Cook Keto 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.
