My ultimate favorite food is spicy food. So I’m always drawn to Asian food naturally. I love the savory and spicy blend. My keto Thai grilled Chicken sandwich has all the flavor and none of the guilt. It’s got savory, sweet, tangy, crunchy & a hint of spicy flavors. Feel free to leave out the birds’ eye chili or replace it with 1/4 seeded jalapeño if you like a milder flavor.
