If you’re eating keto and headed to Pluckers, you might be wondering—can you still enjoy wings without wrecking your low-carb goals?

What’s Sugar Free and Keto Friendly at Pluckers?

So let’s dig into what’s sugar-free and keto friendly at Pluckers!

🐔 The Wings

Pluckers does fresh, unbreaded bone-in wings, which is great news for keto eaters. Here’s what to know:

• Order “Naked” Wings to avoid sugary or breaded coatings
• Skip the fried boneless wings—they’re breaded
• Choose your sauces and rubs carefully (see below)

🔥 Sugar-Free & Lower-Carb Sauces

While Pluckers has a lot of sugary sauces, there are a few you can enjoy—especially if you’re tracking net carbs. These options are lower in carbs and usually the safest for keto:

• Buffalo Mild or Medium – typically vinegar-based with minimal sugar
• Garlic Parmesan – richer and low on sugar, but slightly higher in fat
• Spicy Ranch Dry Rub – avoids sugar-filled glazes altogether
• Lemon Pepper Dry Rub – a great no-sugar option

🚫 Avoid: Teriyaki, Honey BBQ, Mango Habanero, Sweet Chili, or anything labeled “sticky” or “honey.” These are packed with sugar.

🥗 Salads (with Modifications)

You can definitely enjoy a salad at Pluckers—just skip the croutons and watch the dressings. Here’s what to order:

• Grilled Chicken Garden Salad – ask for no croutons, and go with oil & vinegar or bring your own dressing
• Buffalo Chicken Salad – ask for grilled (not fried) chicken, no croutons, no sweet dressing

🥄 Most of Pluckers’ dressings contain sugar or PUFAs (seed oils). Stick to plain olive oil & vinegar if available, or BYOD (bring your own dressing).

🍳 Other Keto-Friendly Picks

• Fried Pickles (No Breading) – ask if they can make these “naked”
• Celery & Carrot Side – simple and safe
• Hard-Boiled Eggs – if part of a salad, these are great fat/protein add-ons
• Bacon – sometimes available as a topping or side

🥤 Drinks

Your best bets:

• Water
• Unsweet Tea
• Diet Coke or Diet Dr. Pepper
• Black Coffee (if available)

Avoid anything labeled lemonade, sweet tea, or signature drinks—they’re usually high in sugar.

✅ Pluckers Keto Summary

Here’s your quick cheat sheet:

• ✔️ Naked wings with dry rub or low-carb sauces
• ✔️ Grilled chicken salads with no croutons or sweet dressing
• ✔️ Low-sugar drink options like water, unsweet tea, or diet sodas

📌 Final Thoughts

Pluckers isn’t the worst place to eat keto—as long as you build your meal carefully. Stick with unbreaded wings, be smart about sauces, and bring your own salad dressing if you’re picky about ingredients.
