It’s hard not to love chicken! And on keto, there’s no better chicken choice than dark meat: Since it has a higher fat content, it cooks up more moist and flavorful than white meat… and (bonus!) cooking it right makes skin-on chicken incredibly crispy.
If you’re new to dark meat (or looking for more ways to make it), try these five keto recipes — complete with one that is sure to keep the white meat lovers happy, too! 😉
Don’t skip to the recipes just yet, though… take a look below for a special announcement about a whole new way to experience Wholesome Yum (coming tomorrow!!). I hope you’re as excited for it as I am!

Got a pan? You can prep these meals fast!
1. Portobello Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms - The best way to get your veggies? Pizza-fy them! Stuff mushrooms with sauce and melty cheese for a whole new take on pizza night.
2. Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast - Looks fancy, but it's easier than you think! Pair with your favorite keto vegetables, and dinner is served.
3. Cauliflower Nachos - Zesty taco flavors and ground meat make this main dish so satisfying -- plus, the cauliflower gets perfectly crisp and caramelized at the edges!
4. Zucchini Bruschetta Boats - Make the most of the last summer produce with this meatless meal! Sun-dried tomatoes, gooey cheese, and fresh herbs make this zucchini so good, you won't miss the bread.
5. Crispy Baked Chicken Legs - Keep it simple! Season chicken legs and pop in the oven for crispy skin and tender meat every time.
