About this category
Poultry is versatile and quick to cook, which makes it a weekday favorite on keto. Chicken leads the way here, with dishes like chicken thighs with harissa and green olives or buffalo chicken wings with a blue cheese dip, but the category also includes duck, goose, guinea fowl, pheasant and quail for days when you want something different.
For keto, the cut matters. Thighs, wings and legs with skin bring more fat and stay juicy, while breast meat is leaner and dries out more easily, so it pairs well with cream sauces, butter or a bacon wrap. Classics such as coq au vin with bacon and mushrooms translate naturally to low-carb cooking, since a braising liquid can thicken by reduction rather than with flour.
Duck has a character of its own. A duck breast with orange zest and thyme gets its citrus note from the zest rather than sugary juice, and the rendered fat is worth saving for roasting vegetables. Pan-roasted quail with porcini mushrooms is a quick option for a special dinner. Cook poultry through to a safe core temperature and store leftovers in the fridge for a few days at most.
