Are chicken fritters keto-friendly?

Yes, chicken fritters can be made keto-friendly by using low-carb ingredients such as almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and eggs. These ingredients provide a suitable substitute for traditional flour and breadcrumbs, making the fritters low in carbs and suitable for a keto diet.

Can I use a different type of meat instead of chicken?
