Why such a range of calories for a Rotisserie chicken leg??? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

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!
