Is Rotisserie Chicken Healthy?


Rotisserie chicken sounds pretty healthy, but did you know that it is
only slightly lower in fat than fried chicken? 

You can save about 7 fat grams by removing the skin before eating. You can further cut fat and calories by choosing white meat, such as breast, over dark pieces
like legs or thighs.

Still, the hardest part for most of us is the recommendation that we stick to a 3-ounce portion—about the size of a deck of cards or an average-size palm.
