❓ Zero-Carb Q & A
Q: Is mayonnaise really zero-carb?
A:
Only if it’s homemade or clean store-bought.
Avoid brands with sugar, dextrose, or starches.

A:
-
Thighs → juicier, higher fat

Breast → leaner (add fat to balance)

A:
Yes. Warm chicken + mayo is safe (just different texture).
Q: Can I add eggs?
A:
Absolutely.
-
Chopped hard-boiled eggs

Or turn it into a chicken-egg salad combo 🥚🐔
Q: How long does it keep?

3 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
