How many carbs are in bang bang chicken?

Traditional bang bang chicken can contain 25–40 grams of carbs per serving due to breading and sugary sauces. However, our keto version eliminates the breading and uses sugar-free ingredients, bringing the total carbs down to 5.7g and net carbs to just 3.8g per serving—perfect for keto.

Is Bang Bang Sauce keto?

Typical bang bang sauce isn’t keto because it includes sweet chili sauce and honey. Our keto version uses sugar-free mayo, sugar-free chili sauce, and low-carb honey alternatives. The result is a creamy, spicy, and sweet sauce with less than 2 grams of net carbs per serving—fully keto-approved.

Is chicken allowed on the keto diet?

Yes, chicken is a staple protein on the keto diet. It contains zero carbs, is rich in protein, and pairs perfectly with high-fat keto ingredients. Chicken thighs are especially great for keto due to their higher fat content, making them ideal for flavorful, filling meals.

What makes chicken "bang bang"?

Bang bang chicken gets its name from the bold, “bang” of flavor in the sauce—a creamy, spicy, and slightly sweet blend of mayo, chili sauce, and sriracha. Originally inspired by Chinese street food, the modern version is known for its addictive flavor and easy preparation.
