7. Perfect Spatchcock Whole Chicken

If you aren’t on the spatchcocking train yet, it’s time to climb aboard. Spatchcocking involves removing the backbone from a whole bird and flattening it before cooking. This allows the meat to cook more evenly in less time while staying moist. Learn the technique here, then try it on your next Thanksgiving turkey!

Beef stew is true comfort food. Many stew recipes call for potatoes, which can be too high-carb to fit neatly into a keto diet. This one makes some strategic ingredient swaps.
