WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Zero net carbs: perfect fit for ketosis
  • Higher natural fat than chicken supports satiety and keto macros
  • Robust flavor: pairs well with low-carb sauces and herbs
  • Solid protein (~23.5g/100g) for muscle maintenance
  • Skin-on cooking renders flavorful fat you can use for sides
  • Versatile: pan-sear, roast, or sous vide with a quick crisp finish

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

CRISPY SKIN PAN-SEARED

Score skin; start skin-side down in a cold pan to render fat gradually. Finish in a 400°F (205°C) oven to medium-rare; rest before slicing.

BERRY GASTRIQUE (SUGAR-FREE)

Deglaze pan with red wine vinegar; reduce with Allulose (Sugar Substitute)-sweetened berry puree for a low-carb drizzle.

HERB-CRUSTED ROAST

Coat with mustard, garlic, and herbs; roast at 375°F (190°C) 20–25 minutes to medium.

ORANGE BUTTER (KETO)

Make a quick pan sauce with butter, a splash of vinegar, and a few drops of orange extract (not juice) for classic flavor without carbs.
