Is Fried Chicken Keto?

Fried Chicken is not keto-friendly because it is a high-carb processed food that contains unhealthy ingredients.

Too Much Carbs!

Fried Chicken should be avoided on keto because it is very high in net carbs (14.03g of net carbs per 100g serving).

It is important to limit your net carb consumption to 20g - 30g per day to stay in ketosis. You can calculate your ideal daily net carb allowance by using this keto macros calculator.

As an alternative, you may look for other poultry meats that are low in net carbs.

Contains Vegetable Oil

Vegetable Oil is a highly refined oil that is prone to oxidation and may cause inflammation in the body.

Highly refined oils are usually extracted using high heat and chemicals. This process strips out the nutrients from the oil and replaces them with harmful chemicals.

It is important to get your fats from healthy sources so your body can burn clean fuel while on ketosis. You may check out our list of best and worst oils for keto here.
