There are 5 grams of carbs and 4 grams of net carbs in 1 Popeyes chicken leg. At first glance, this menu item may seem keto-friendly. It is unlikely, however, that your meal will stop at a single chicken leg; the carb count will rise fast! Also, note that Popeyes chicken legs are both battered and breaded with high-carb ingredients, so even if the carb count for one piece is relatively low, this breaded addition keeps it from being keto.
