KETO LOW-CARB MONTREAL CHICKEN QUARTERS (HEART HEALTHY)

KETO MONTREAL CHICKEN LEGS

Keto Montreal Chicken Quarters is a dish I prepare on a regular basis.  I’m always looking for different recipes to season chicken quarters (thigh and drumstick).  In my household, we all love the dark meat of chicken, including the kids (1 Shepard and 1 kitty dogs).  I’ve noticed in checking out chicken recipes that the term “legs” refers to the drumsticks.  When cut apart, one is the thigh and the other is the drumstick.  So, in this recipe, I refer to chicken quarters, which includes the thigh and drumstick!  Our favorite.

WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF KETO MONTREAL CHICKEN QUARTERS?

Chicken quarters for Keto Montreal Chicken Quarters

Keto Montreal Chicken Quarters are nutritious. My husband Shawn and I prefer chicken legs over breasts because they possess higher fat, which we prefer as we both lift weights.  Fattier cuts are better for building muscle.  If you’re aiming to lose weight you may want to stick to lower fat chicken breasts.  Legs are also a great choice for a Keto Low-Carb lifestyle as maintaining a good source of daily fat is ideal. Dark meat is also higher in myoglobin.  Myoglobin is an oxygen-carrying protein that gives dark meat its reddish color. The greater the myoglobin in the flesh, the darker the meat and the richer the nutrients.

Chicken thighs and drumsticks are an excellent source of iron and zinc, supporting the immune system.  This dark meat also offers higher quantities of B vitamins thiamine, niacin, and B12,) to regulate our metabolism.

WHAT IS THE TASTE PROFILE OF KETO MONTREAL CHICKEN QUARTERS?  

The predominant taste sensation of Keto Montreal Chicken Quarter  is fattiness from the dark meat.  The dish also offers flavors similar to Shake & Bake.

WHAT NON-ALC WINE HARMONIZES WITH KETO MONTREAL CHICKEN QUARTERS?

Zero Alcohol Wine Tips:

ALCOHOL AND KETOSIS:

To support your Keto diet or low-carb lifestyle, opt for quality, non-alcoholic wines that are low-carb and low in sugar. Additionally, alcohol does not align with a keto diet or low-carb lifestyle. Moreover, your liver processes alcohol before nutrients, pausing ketone creation and slowing the ketosis process. Furthermore, your body will metabolize alcohol as fuel before utilizing food, which can decelerate fat burning and may lead to the storage of carbs, fat, and protein as excess body fat. Moreover, alcohol consumption stimulates the appetite, potentially causing overeating.

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH:

Did you know that when you consume alcohol, your liver has to work extra hard to break it down? This can result in damage to your liver. Furthermore, it can elevate your risk of health issues such as inflammation and cancer, particularly with heavy consumption. Additionally, alcohol can disrupt your blood sugar levels, leaving you feeling dehydrated and disrupting your body’s normal functions.

NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE AND HEALTH BENEFITS:

Non-alcoholic wines with minimal carbs and sugar are advantageous for your health. They not only aid in weight management, blood sugar control, and hydration but also contain essential nutrients and antioxidants from grapes that can decrease your risk of health conditions like heart disease. Consequently, since they lack alcohol, they’re ideal for socializing without any adverse effects, promoting feelings of happiness and reduced stress.
