Why such a range of calories for a Rotisserie chicken leg???

  • I did a search here and found it to be a whopping 350 calories and have looked at other sites like for Boston Market to where it was 170 calories.
    I mean good grief, I could have just eaten one that was fried but I was trying to be good

    And I even took the skin off!!!!!!!!
  • If you took the skin off, there's no way any chicken leg has 350 calories (even if it where deep fried), that calorie count had to include the skin.

    A KFC extra crispy drumstick (including the batter and skin) has only has 160 calories. So a rotisserie chicken isn't going to have more than that.

    I've seen chicken leg listed as 308 calories - for a cup, diced, but one leg isn't going to provide a cup of meat.
  • According to Calorie King, Boston Market rotisserie chicken leg without the skin is 190 cals. With skin is 320 cals. So, you did good to remove the skin!
